Learn Basic String and Array Methods by Building a Music Player - Step 41

Tell us what’s happening:

To store the current time of the song when it is paused, set the songCurrentTime of the userData object to the currentTime of the audio variable.

Note: You should not use optional chaining for this step because userData.songCurrentTime will not be null or undefined at this point.

this is what the instruction says but I’m sure I’m doing it correctly is there something im mising out?

Your code so far

const playlistSongs = document.getElementById(“playlist-songs”);
const playButton = document.getElementById(“play”);
const pauseButton = document.getElementById(“pause”);
const nextButton = document.getElementById(“next”);
const previousButton = document.getElementById(“previous”);
const shuffleButton = document.getElementById(“shuffle”);

const allSongs = [

your syntax is right.

But, this line will take what is on the right side of = and assign it to what is on the left side of =.

read the challenge again and hopefully you will understand what is wrong.

Ok thank you the I did it right the first time but somehow it didn’t work. It worked now thank you
