Tell us what’s happening:

It is sayin I need to pass an array into my average function, where is my mistake?

Your code so far

const median = nums => {
  const sorted = nums.slice().sort((a, b) => a - b);
  const length = sorted.length;
  const middle = length / 2 - 1;
  return isEven(length) ? average(nums) : sorted[Math.ceil(middle)]; 
}

}

.label {
  background-color: lightgray;
  text-align: center;
  vertical-align: middle;
  line-height: 30px;
}

/* file: script.js */
const isEven = num => num % 2 === 0;
const sum = nums => nums.reduce((acc, el) => acc + el, 0);
const average = nums => sum(nums) / nums.length;

const median = nums => {
  const sorted = nums.slice().sort((a, b) => a - b);
  const length = sorted.length;
  const middle = length / 2 - 1;
  return isEven(length) ? average(nums) : sorted[Math.ceil(middle)]; 
}

// User Editable Region


const range = (start, end) => Array(end - start + 1).fill(start).map((element, index) => element + index);
const charRange = (start, end) => range(start.charCodeAt(0), end.charCodeAt(0)).map(code => String.fromCharCode(code));

window.onload = () => {
  const container = document.getElementById("container");
  const createLabel = (name) => {
    const label = document.createElement("div");
    label.className = "label";
    label.textContent = name;
    container.appendChild(label);
  }
  const letters = charRange("A", "J");
  letters.forEach(createLabel);
  range(1, 99).forEach(number => {
    createLabel(number);
    letters.forEach(letter => {
      const input = document.createElement("input");
      input.type = "text";
      input.id = letter + number;
      input.ariaLabel = letter + number;
      container.appendChild(input);
    })
  })
}

average(nums) is not what is required here:
You should pass an array [] to the ‘average’ function with two values as arguments. The first is the middle of the ‘sorted’ array, and the second is the middle + 1 of the ‘sorted’ array:

function([array.[first_value], array.[second_value]])
3

return isEven(length)
? average(sorted[middle], sorted[middle+1])
: sorted[Math.ceil(middle)];
}
I’ve came up with this but im still misunderstanding and getting the same message.

that works return isEven(length) ? average([sorted[middle], sorted[middle + 1]]):sorted[Math.ceil(middle)];

That’s exactly the same line of code I use, but I get an error saying that I should use the return keyword. I’ve been trying since yesterday on this, am really lost.
