Tell us what’s happening:

I tried passing the code task objective but could not pass it yet, for reasons, am still naive about!

Your code so far

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


/* file: styles.css */


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

function calculateCalories(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    globalErrorFlag = false;
}

// User Editable Region

Scroll up and look at the variables that you declared at the start of the code.

One of those is the error flag but it’s not called globalErrorFlag

The “global error flag” is mentioned in the step but it does not refer to a globalErrorFlag variable. Rather it is asking you to set to false a variable which you have previously created in the global scope. Check the code at the top where all the global variables were declared. Which one do you think is the variable they want you to reset? There is only one variable in the global scope that seems to be applicable.

Absolutely, IsError seems relative but its already set to false!

It’s initialized to false. Maybe it will change at some point.

The point is that this function needs to reset it to false, regardless.
