Learn Form Validation by Building a Calorie Counter - Step 65

Tell us what’s happening:

I keep getting the “use the addition assignment operator on calories” error, but I cannot figure out what’s wrong with it.

Number('currVal');
calories += Number('currVal');

Your code so far

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


/* file: styles.css */


/* file: script.js */
// User Editable Region

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[0]}`);
      isError = true;
      return null;
    }
    Number('currVal');
    calories += Number('currVal');
  }
}

Hi there!

currVal is a variable, not an a string. Didn’t need the quote marks.

removed from both, still telling me “After your
if statement, you should use the addition assignment operator on calories.”

Sorry, I didn’t noticed the above Number('currVal'), should be removed completely.
