Tell us what’s happening:

I really just don’t understand what’s going on ere:
It’s telling me to complete the getRandomcomputerResult, but I dont seem to understand.
function getRandomComputerResult() {
const options = [“Boom”, “Calender”, “FBI”];
}
console.log (getRandomComputerResult());

Your code so far

      <details class="rules-container">
        <summary>Rules to the game</summary>

        <p>You will be playing against the computer.</p>
        <p>You can choose between Rock, Paper, and Scissors.</p>
        <p>The first one to three points wins.</p>

        <p>Here are the rules to getting a point in the game:</p>
        <ul>
          <li>Rock beats Scissors</li>
          <li>Scissors beats Paper</li>
          <li>Paper beats Rock</li>
        </ul>
        <p>
          If the player and computer choose the same option (Ex. Paper and
          Paper), then no one gets the point.

You should click reset because you should not have changed the options array.
Then follow the instructions.
Do you know what the objective of the step is?

Thanks, yea the objective is to complete the getRandomcomputerResult.

Every function has an objective. You should understand that objective before coding. Let us know if you need more help after reading back the explanation in the step of what this function is for.

Ok, thanks for the information hbar1st.
