Link to the challenge:

return console.log(myArray);

This is telling it to return whatever that console.log return anything. So, this is telling the function to return nothing, the same as returning undefined.

please correct me if I am wrong, that means, I can’t return console.log

Well, you can, I’m just not sure what good it does. If you want to log it in the function and return it, you’ll need to do it on two separate lines.
