Tell us what’s happening:

i dont understand how to update the value property of the element in the if block some help would be wonderful

Your code so far

/* file: script.js */
const infixToFunction = {
  "+": (x, y) => x + y,
  "-": (x, y) => x - y,
  "*": (x, y) => x * y,
  "/": (x, y) => x / y,
}

const infixEval = (str, regex) => str.replace(regex, (_match, arg1, operator, arg2) => infixToFunction[operator](parseFloat(arg1), parseFloat(arg2)));

const highPrecedence = str => {
  const regex = /([\d.]+)([*\/])([\d.]+)/;
  const str2 = infixEval(str, regex);
  return str === str2 ? str : highPrecedence(str2);
}

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([sorted[middle], sorted[middle + 1]])
    : sorted[Math.ceil(middle)];
}

const spreadsheetFunctions = {
  sum,
  average,
  median
}

const applyFunction = str => {
  const noHigh = highPrecedence(str);
  const infix = /([\d.]+)([+-])([\d.]+)/;
  const str2 = infixEval(noHigh, infix);
  const functionCall = /([a-z0-9]*)\(([0-9., ]*)\)(?!.*\()/i;
  const toNumberList = args => args.split(",").map(parseFloat);
  const apply = (fn, args) => spreadsheetFunctions[fn.toLowerCase()](toNumberList(args));
  return str2.replace(functionCall, (match, fn, args) => spreadsheetFunctions.hasOwnProperty(fn.toLowerCase()) ? apply(fn, args) : match);
}

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));

const evalFormula = (x, cells) => {
  const idToText = id => cells.find(cell => cell.id === id).value;
  const rangeRegex = /([A-J])([1-9][0-9]?):([A-J])([1-9][0-9]?)/gi;
  const rangeFromString = (num1, num2) => range(parseInt(num1), parseInt(num2));
  const elemValue = num => character => idToText(character + num);
  const addCharacters = character1 => character2 => num => charRange(character1, character2).map(elemValue(num));
  const rangeExpanded = x.replace(rangeRegex, (_match, char1, num1, char2, num2) => rangeFromString(num1, num2).map(addCharacters(char1)(char2)));
  const cellRegex = /[A-J][1-9][0-9]?/gi;
  const cellExpanded = rangeExpanded.replace(cellRegex, match => idToText(match.toUpperCase()));
  const functionExpanded = applyFunction(cellExpanded);
  return functionExpanded === x ? functionExpanded : evalFormula(functionExpanded, cells);
}

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;
      input.onchange = update;
      container.appendChild(input);
    })
  })
}

hi there!
the instructions is asking you that: Inside your if statement, set the value of the element to be the result of your evalFormula() function. Do not pass any arguments yet.
you did not try anything of above instructions,

example of updating the id property of an element and setting it to the result of a function:

elementName.id = functionName();

Thank you Mr Hasan for your reply I guess I forgot there’s a variable called element…sometimes the brain misfires…thank you for your support
