Learn the Date Object by Building a Date Formatter - Step 3

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:

I was asked to create a new const variable called date and assign it a Date object with new Date()

So, this is my line:
const date = new Date();

But the test doesn’t pass for some reason. I searched the web to see if others are having similar problems, and I see everyone writting the same line as I did, but my tests do pass.

I even tried restarting this step, but that didn’t work too.

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->


/* file: styles.css */


/* file: script.js */
// User Editable Region

const date = new Date();

// User Editable Region

This also happens in step 4.

And after jumping to 4th step, the for date variable is the same as mine, but the test aren’t passing. Same for step 4 with the same error:
You should use const to declare a day variable. 2. You should assign the date.getDate() to your day variable.

Your solution works from my end. Please try one of the following steps to move forward.

Click on the “Restart Step” button and force a refresh of your page with CTRL + F5 then try to paste the code in again.

or - Try the step in incognito or private mode.

or - Disable any/all extensions that interface with the freeCodeCamp website (such as Dark Mode, Ad Blockers, or Spellcheckers), and set your browser zoom level to 100%. Both of these factors can cause tests to fail erroneously.

or - Ensure your browser is up-to-date or try a different browser.

I hope one of these will work for you.

Yeah, it was one of the plugins, but I never had any issues before this step.

Thanks a lot for helping out!
