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!

The console is giving you a trace back error message.

The period does not look like it belongs there.

For next time, describe the issue in your own words. Learning to communicate problems is a part of becoming a web developer.

Happy coding
