Tell us what’s happening:

I genuinely do not understand what’s wrong with my code. I have been at this for 24 hours now and can’t pass it. Am I overlooking something? :frowning:

Your code so far

function getAverage(scores) {
  let sum = 0;

  for (const score of scores) {
    sum += score;
  }

  return sum / scores.length;
}

function getGrade(score) {
  if (score === 100) {
    return "A++";
  } else if (score >= 90) {
    return "A";
  } else if (score >= 80) {
    return "B";
  } else if (score >= 70) {
    return "C";
  } else if (score >= 60) {
    return "D";
  } else {
    return "F";
  }
}

function hasPassingGrade(score) {
  return getGrade(score) !== "F";
}


// User Editable Region

function studentMsg(totalScores, studentScore) {
if (hasPassingGrade(studentScore)) {
  return "Class Average: " + getAverage(totalScores) + ". Your grade: " + getGrade(studentScore) + ". You passed the course.";
  } else { 
    return "Class Average: " + getAverage(totalScores) + ". Your grade: " + getGrade(studentScore) + ". You failed the course.";
    }
  }

console.log(studentMsg([92, 88, 12, 77, 57, 100, 67, 38, 97, 89], 37));

Hi there and welcome to our community!

Your function is one letter away from returning the correct result. Check the capitalisation of your string very carefully against the expected output.

EDIT: If it helps, you can add this below your other console.log():

// expected output
console.log("Class average: 71.7. Your grade: F. You failed the course.")

Note that it really, really helps if you use conventional formatting and indent your code consistently like the Steps have shown.
