### Tell us what’s happening:

I feel that my code meets the criteria of the errors that are being returned. I have tried many combination of booleans as part of this If statement, but they all return the same outcome. I can not find where my error lies.

### Your code so far

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

```

```css
/* file: styles.css */

```

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

function calculateCalories(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  isError = false;

  const breakfastNumberInputs = document.querySelectorAll("#breakfast input[type='number']");
  const lunchNumberInputs = document.querySelectorAll("#lunch input[type='number']");
  const dinnerNumberInputs = document.querySelectorAll("#dinner input[type='number']");
  const snacksNumberInputs = document.querySelectorAll("#snacks input[type='number']");
  const exerciseNumberInputs = document.querySelectorAll("#exercise input[type='number']");

  const breakfastCalories = getCaloriesFromInputs(breakfastNumberInputs);
  const lunchCalories = getCaloriesFromInputs(lunchNumberInputs);
  const dinnerCalories = getCaloriesFromInputs(dinnerNumberInputs);
  const snacksCalories = getCaloriesFromInputs(snacksNumberInputs);
  const exerciseCalories = getCaloriesFromInputs(exerciseNumberInputs);
  const budgetCalories = getCaloriesFromInputs([budgetNumberInput]);
  if (isError <= true) {
    return;
  }

}

// User Editable Region

```

You only need to refer to the variable name in the condition of the if statement.
