Hello @jonathanssengonzi2

You have hard coded again the string “World” which is already present a few lines above what you wrote.

You need to reassign the secondCharacter to the character variable.

3

secondCharacter assignment from "Test" to your character variable

This means that you need assign, the character variable to the secondCharacter variable. Not assign the value of the character variable, which is "World" to the secondCharacter variable.

The “character” here is a variable, not a string.

Hi there,

First of all, do you understand the given example in the instruction?

let first = "One";
let second = "Two";
second = first;

Before we set second = first:

  • first value is "One"
  • second value is "Two"

After we set second = first:

  • first value is still "One"
  • second value is not "Two" anymore. second value now is "One"

Now, in our code, we have on line 3:

character = "World";

and on line 5:

secondCharacter = "Test";

What the instruction asked is:

change your secondCharacter assignment from "Test" to your character variable

that means: change line 5 to something similar to:

second = first;

and then look at the console on the right to see the value of secondCharacter is not "Test" anymore, but is similar to the value of character.
