### Your code so far

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

function padRow(rowNumber, rowCount) {
  return " ".repeat(rowCount - rowNumber) + character.repeat(2 * rowNumber - 1) + " ".repeat(rowCount - rowNumber);
}

// TODO: use a different type of loop
/*for (let i = 1; i <= count; i++) {
  rows.push(padRow(i, count));
}*/

// User Editable Region

if (false) {
  console.log("false");
}

Please **Tell us what’s happening** in your own words.

Learning to describe problems is hard, but it is an important part of learning how to code.

Also, the more you say, the more we can help!

Hello, I have reviewed the problem you’re facing. You mentioned that the condition in your if statement should be “false”. Please note that “false” is a string, not the Boolean value false.

Use `"false"` (a string value) in your `if` statement condition, instead of `false` (a Boolean value).

You shouldn’t rewrite your code to only be on one line.

If this is exactly copied from what you wrote, then it is 1 line instead of the original 3

</div>

please post code properly…

When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (`</>`) to add backticks around text.

 ![Pre-formatted-text](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/freecodecamp/original/3X/1/b/1b18854f1059217f29370444396145cc3a0cd8ae.gif)

See [this post](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/forum-code-formatting/25574) to find the backtick on your keyboard.  
**Note:** Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').
