Tell us what’s happening:

Why is it specifically giving me an error to use const. when i can do this with let. it doesnt say in the questinon that i need to use the const. Am i missing something or is it just best practice use to const when storing return value of a function

Question : To see the result of calling your padRow function, declare a call variable and assign your existing padRow call to that variable.

Error: “Sorry, your code does not pass. Keep trying.
You should use const to declare your call variable.”

Your code so far

const character = "#";
const count = 8;
const rows = [];

function padRow() {

}

// User Editable Region

let call=padRow();


// User Editable Region



for (let i = 0; i < count; i = i + 1) {
  rows.push(character.repeat(i + 1))
}

let result = ""

for (const row of rows) {
  result = result + "\n" + row;
}

console.log(result);

yeah it’s a bit ornery!
The rule of thumb seems to be use const all the time, unless you are told the variable will need to be re-assigned.
