Stuck with an issue in Java Basics

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far


// Setup
function abTest(a, b) {
  // Only change code below this line
 { if (a<0);
  return undefined;
}
 { if (b<0);
  return undefined;
 }
  // Only change code above this line

  return Math.round(Math.pow(Math.sqrt(a) + Math.sqrt(b), 2));
}

// Change values below to test your code
abTest(2,2);

What problem has you stuck?

3

also, don’t put “;” after your if statement.

4

The instructions don’t give enough information on how to complete it

5

You have a formatting error here. Make sure brackets are in the proper place

6

function abTest(a, b) {
// Only change code below this line
if (a<0);
{return undefined;
}
if (b<0);
{return undefined;
}
// Only change code above this line

return Math.round(Math.pow(Math.sqrt(a) + Math.sqrt(b), 2));
}

// Change values below to test your code
abTest(2,2);

Again, you should delete you semi colons after the if() if statements should like

if(a < 0) {
  return undefined;
}

or

if(a < 0)
{
  return undefined;
}

Whichever style you like better. Notice there is no “;” after the parenthesis.

oooh I see now. thank you!

Might be other things wrong, but that was the most jarring problem that I saw.
