Tell us what’s happening:

This is my code:

const names sortSongs(userData?.songs) {

}

Is someone able to advise me as to where I am going wrong?

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->


/* file: styles.css */

const names sortSongs(userData?.songs) {
    
}

Hello @fitzgeraldp !

Good attempt.

Here are the instructions for this step.

Inside your sortSongs function, add the sort() method to userData?.songs.

Is it asking us to add the sort() function method to userData?.songs

We should not add the names to this code.

I hope this helps you.

Wishing you good progress on your coding journey. :slightly_smiling_face:

The sort function is not called with ?. notation. That notation is for accessing a key in the object. Sort is a method so you just call it normally with plain old dot notation.

I went ahead and combined your posts for you. In the future, just reply to the original thread to add further updates.

Thanks.

As said, it didn’t ask you to use optional chaining on the songs property. Not that it would matter, except the test doesn’t expect it.

It also didn’t ask you to add a parameter to sortSongs. Here the test doesn’t care, but just know, anytime you add something that wasn’t asked for, the tests may fail.
