Tell us what’s happening:

I have gotten the code to work without the return method, but I can’t get a pass due to not using a return method.
How do I use the return method I don’t understand what they’re asking me to do

Your code so far


// User Editable Region

let average = 0;
let sum = 0;
function getAverage(scores) {
  
  for (let i = 0; i < scores.length; i++){
    sum += scores[i]
    return getAverage();
  }
  average = sum / scores.length;
  sum = 0;
  
}

console.log(getAverage([92, 88, 12, 77, 57, 100, 67, 38, 97, 89]));
console.log(getAverage([45, 87, 98, 100, 86, 94, 67, 88, 94, 95]));

don’t return the function itself, delete this line and add the return keyword so that it returns the average

you should also delete these, or move them inside the function

3

Yeah I just got it to work thank you, it’s just the error message telling me to return getAverage() is what threw me off

4

there is no message saying to return getAverage(), where did you see that?

5

when I would submit my code to kind of test it when it wasnt done on the “check the code” section i’d get a message saying i need to return getAverage()

6

no you don’t

“Your getAverage function should return a number”, that’s what confused me sorry, I took it as needing to call “return getAverage()” in order to do the code. It’s early in the morning I haven’t fully woken up yet
