Possible error in Decimal to Binary Converter Step 70

JavaScript
1

Step 70 asks:

“Finally, in your checkUserInput() function, set the textContent property of result equal to the string returned by your decimalToBinary() function.”

I did this by coding:

result.textContent = decimalToBinary();

And I was able to pass the step. However, when I tried using the converter in Preview Window, “NaN” is always returned as the output.

When I moved on to Step 71, my answer from step 70 was automatically changed to:

result.textContent = decimalToBinary(parseInt(numberInput.value));

And then the converter in the preview worked just fine. I just wanted to point this out because I felt that it was a bit misleading, and if I didn’t pick up on this, I may have been confused as to why a similar approach might not work on a different project in the future, if that makes sense.

I’ve noticed a few similar occurrences in previous lessons too, but thought it might have just been my mistakes. Should I be bringing attention to things like this?

Appreciate what you guys do!

Oh, thanks so much for the reply! I haven’t been reporting them, because I thought that I was the issue (being pretty new and all). I will open an issue for it now and will do the same for other issues I find in the future. Thanks again.
