So close I can feel it, but why can't I pass these 2 tests? STILL stuck on the Record Collection

JavaScript

Thank you @ilenia!
When I was trying to understand the solution I found that this was related. I noticed that in my solution I wasn’t really using an instance of the object inside my function and neither using any argument to pass the object to the function, actually I don’t even know how I got many of the things working until I noticed this :rofl:
But using the collectionCopy I was able to understand what was happening. Thanks!

Don´t know if it´s just me, but I find this exercise totally out of my league.
It´s the 3rd time that I start the JS course (always taking notes and having a 100% understanding of each lesson) and I keep getting stuck into this exercise.

I´m not sure if it´s an issue in my reasoning / problem solving skills, but even looking at the solution and watching the youtube video, still has no sense to me.

Starting the course for the 4th time. Wish me luck.

This particular lesson is far more complicated than anything before it, yes. It has a lot of moving parts. But broken down to small steps, they are all reasonable.

I might suggest you get as far as you can for now, but build it somewhere apart from the FCC lesson page. Often, I will build and test on codepen or repl, and when I get hung, I can simply share the link to that - doing so, others can see my code running, and can see what errors I see.

The other advantage to somewhere like repl is, pairs programming. It supports a classroom-style live code sharing, so when I get hung, I can share the link to others, and they can make changes which I see in real time! I can test their changes, and see the impact, on the fly. In a tutorial lesson, the value of that can’t be overstated.

Perhaps, if you find yourself hung again, consider asking around here for someone interested in ‘pairs programming’ on this specific lesson?

Thanks a lot for the feedback and suggestions! The break down in small pieces is something that I always forget. That´s totally my bad.

I´ll give them a shot before starting up the entire js course again.

Thanks again!
