Challenge Task 1 of 1 Using the filter method on the years array, return an array of only the years in the twentieth...

Hi,

I don't understand where I am making mistake with this simple challenge, Will be grateful for all the help I can get: Here is my code: Challenge Task 1 of 1

Using the filter method on the years array, return an array of only the years in the twentieth century (remember: the twentieth century includes the year "2000"). See the comments for the correct result. Store the new array in the variable century20.

const years = [1989, 2015, 2000, 1999, 2013, 1973, 2012]; let century20 = [];

// century20 should be: [1989, 2000, 1999, 1973] // Write your code below century20 = years.filter( year => year <= 2000 ); console.log(century20);

app.js
const years = [1989, 2015, 2000, 1999, 2013, 1973, 2012];
let century20 = [];

// century20 should be: [1989, 2000, 1999, 1973]
// Write your code below
century20 = years.filter( year => year <= 2000 );
console.log(century20);

The challenge wants you to add new code after the line with "Write your code below". Code above that line should not be altered. Your changes to line 2 are causing the error.

Also, while it doesn't cause another error, you don't need "console.log" for this challenge.

century20 = years.filter(year => year <= 2000);

I get the same answer but with way more code. I am still learning. I appreciate this concise version but I also work at a job that doesn't have the most current browsers company wide (yet). We still flounder with ie 10 - edge. I consider myself lucky that they started using chrome in the past 4 years! :)
