“ask-for-help” button is not working.

Anyway, I think that the reason this might not be working is because the ratings are not transferred into strings but that’s just a guess? Can anyone support me and explain why, thank you.

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make easier to read.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) will also add backticks around text.

Note: Backticks are not single quotes.

Have you tried converting elem.imdbRating to integer ? It seems like currently you are evaluating string with integer which is not something you want to do.

thank you for your help.

I used and it worked -

Glad it helped! It is always important to check the type of data being passed around the functions, for me, it is almost always the root problem: expecting one type of data to be coming in, but actually it is something completely different :slight_smile: :+1:
