Hey, stuck on this question. Anyone find my error? Thanks
// Enter your code below
var arrayOfInts = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
arrayOfInts.append = [7,8]
arrayOfInts += arrayOfInts + [1]

28,558 PointsThere are two issues:
-
appendis a method, so you have to call it using parenthesis. And the value you want to pass to it has to go inside of those parenthesis. Using the equals operator on it is invalid. It also only accepts one value at a time, so appending two numbers at once is not valid. - The
+=operator is an operator that is a shorthand that adds whatever is on the right to the object, rather than replacing it. Since you include the object name on the right of the operator your code essentially translates to this:arrayOfInts = arrayOfInts + arrayOfInts + [1]. When appending to an object you should either use=and specify the name and the new value like you did (arrayOfInts = arrayOfInts + [1]) or use+=and only specify the value you want to add (arrayOfInts += [1]), you should not do both which is essentially what you are doing.
If you fix those two issues like this:
var arrayOfInts = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
arrayOfInts.append(7) // Call append method and add only one number
arrayOfInts += [1] // Use += without adding variable name on right of operator
Then your code will pass task 2.
