Tell us what’s happening:

Hi everyone! :wave:

I’m working on a JavaScript function called updateScore, and I’m struggling to implement one key part. The goal of the function is to:

Convert the first parameter (which might be a string like “10”) into an integer.
Add that integer to a global total score variable.
Update the text of a totalScore DOM element to reflect the new total.
Create a new

  • element with text in the format “achieved : selectedValue”.
    Append that new
  • to a scoreHistory DOM element.

    Your code so far

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


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

const updateScore = (selectedValue, achieved) => {
  score += selectedValue;
  totalScore.textContent = score;

  scoreHistory.innerHtml = `<li>${achieved} : ${selectedValue}</li>`
};

// User Editable Region

    /* file: styles.css */

    you need to do the conversion from string to integer explicitly, that means you need to use a certain function to do it

    next, the variable totalScore doesn’t exist, double check what is the variable bame

    It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.
