Smallest Common Multiple - Please help, browser crashes!

1

I don’t know what to do. I started this challenge, have just written some code. When I tried to test the first part of the code the browser crashed. However, as soon as I get to the page of this challenge again, after a few seconds my browser freezes. This doesn’t happen with any of the other pages of the site. I don’t click Run Tests, I just open the page. I can’t even change anything in my code, as it’s the most likely a cause of the problem.

Please help me :frowning:

maybe you have an infinite loop or something like that.
test it on node.js.

3

I guess I do, but how can I change it if it runs as soon as I open the page?
I have no idea what node.js is.

4

node.js is just a runtime for javascript. you can think of it as a compiler. so instead of running a js grogramm on the browser you can run it on your terminal.

can you share your code with as?

I know it is not right, but I have no idea how to change it on FCC site now. Because the browser freezes immediately after I enter the page. :frowning:

Remove your code from browsers url

I think the problem is in your second for loop;
try this

for (var b=arr[1]+1; b<arr[0]; b++){
between.push(b);
}

8

in your code as arr[0] is greater than arr[1] and as you do b++ then b>arr[1] will be true for ever, then you will have an infinite loop

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. I would change my code, but I have no idea how to change it since the whole browser freezes when I try to. How could I change the code from url, @jenovs? That seems weird

Do your solution url (address) looks like this?:

If yes, remove # and everything that follows it.

@jenovs It actually doesn’t. It’s plain

Thanks @jenovs. This solved my issue, and actually made me learn something about Developer Tools!
I am giving you brownie points on chat :slight_smile:

I am having the same problem but using a Mac Pro. How do I do same in Safari?

15

Just use the safari dev tool (Option+Command+I) then there should be storage tab.
