Welcome to the forum @zepple

You have an error message in the console.

SyntaxError: unknown: Identifier ‘character’ has already been declared. (9:4)
7 |
8 | secondCharacter = “Test”; >
9 | let character = “World”; | ^
10 | secondcharacter= character;
11 |
12 | // User Editable Region

The blue dots indicate a typo in the variable name.

Happy coding

how do i fix the error in the console

[Teller]

Your code in the editor has a typo for the variable name.
When you fix that, the syntax error will disappear from the console.

i fixed the error but the code didn’t pass its telling me no to assign the value test to my character variable.

Hi @zepple

Here is a comparison of the original code and your code.

The code in blue is the original code, the code in red is your code.
The code in magenta is the overlap.

Please remove second declaration of the character variable.

Happy coding
