i guess this one is closer to the solution but still confused why not
currentTitle ? playingSong.textContent = currentTitle : currentTitle = “”;

3

Hi there!

You should begun the both lines of code with .textContent on the variable.

You should not use the .textContent property after ternary condition ?

4

why cant i do the way i did?
currentTitle.textContent ? playingSong = currentTitle : playingSong = “”;
currentArtist.textContent ? songArtist = currentArtist : songArtist = “”;
Like this?
currentTitle.textContent ? playingSong.textContent = currentTitle : playingSong.textContent = “”;
currentArtist.textContent ? songArtist.textContent = currentArtist : songArtist.textContent = “”;
Or this?

5

currentTitle and currentArtist should be use as the ternary condition. Variables playing song and songArtist should be used with the .textContent at beginning.

6

.textContent property should be used only one’s within both lines of code with the variables at the beginning of the both lines of code

7

currentTitle.textContent ? playingSong = currentTitle : playingSong = “”;
currentArtist.textContent ? songArtist = currentArtist : songArtist = “”;
if u mean this way, it doesnt pass

8

I said, You should use the variables playingSong and songArtist with the .textContent

Assignment after ternary condition isn’t correct. Follow the example given in the challenge instructions.

9

playingSong.textContent = currentTitle ? currentTitle : “”;?
So i should say what will be with smth if , then condition, and true or false then?
So in this case smth will be textcontent of playing song then condition of currenttitle and if yes then it is as it is and if not then “”

10

Yes. That’s it. Both lines should be the same as that one.
