Learn Form Validation by Building a Calorie Counter - Step 61

[jobanibusiness]

Tell us what’s happening: I don’t see why my code doesn’t work. Please help.

Browsers have a built in alert() function, which you can use to display a pop-up message to the user. The message to display is passed as the argument to the alert() function.

Using a template literal, in your if block, call the alert() function to tell the user Invalid Input: , followed by the first value in the invalidInputMatch array.

Your code so far

function getCaloriesFromInputs(list) {
  let calories = 0;

  for (const item of list) {
    const currVal = cleanInputString(item.value);
    const invalidInputMatch = isInvalidInput(currVal);

    if (invalidInputMatch) {
      alert(`Invalid Input: ${invalidInputMatch}`);
    }
  }
}

Welcome to the forum @jobanibusiness

How is your code accessing the first match in the array?

Happy coding

Thank you, I was able to solve it.
