Please help I can’t tell what am I doing wrong with this code.

Your code so far


const result = {
success: ["max-length", "no-amd", "prefer-arrow-functions"],
failure: ["no-var", "var-on-top", "linebreak"],
skipped: ["no-extra-semi", "no-dup-keys"]
};
function makeList(arr) {
// Only change code below this line
const failureItems = arr.map(item => '<li class="text-warning">${item}</li>');
// Only change code above this line

return failureItems;
}

const failuresList = makeList(result.failure);

Hi! Try using backticks ` instead of single quotes on the line:

`<li class="text-warning">${item}</li>`
3

thank you for your help, i did try the backticks but it does not work. Any other suggestions.

4

I tried running the tests on freeCodeCamp with the backticks and it passed all four tests. Which test does it fail for you?

const failureItems = arr.map(item => `<li class="text-warning">${item}</li>`);
5

this two are not passing

failuresList should be equal to the specified output.

Template strings and expression interpolation should be used.

6

what have you tried? what’s your new code?

I also try the + sign but it doesn’t not work.

const failureItems = arr.map(item => ‘

  • ’ +${ item } +’
    • ’);

    As SimonRhe pointed out above, your code has single quotes and needs to have the backtick. I ran your code as you posted it and it returns the errors you listed. The backtick ( ` ) key on my keyboard is above the TAB key and below the ESC key. The single quote ( ’ ) key is to the left of the ENTER key and is on the same key as the double quotes ( " ). Replacing the single quotes in your code with the backtick will pass the tests as already mentioned by Simon.

    I have placed a red circle around the correct key in the image below.
