const daysOfWeek = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"];
let abbreviatedDays;
// abbreviatedDays should be: ["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"]
// Write your code below
abbreviatedDays = daysOfWeek.map(function(item, index, array) {
// Return element for new_array
return array = ["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"]
});

14,957 PointsDo you mean something like this?
const daysOfWeek = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"];
let abbreviatedDays = daysOfWeek.map(day => day.substr(0,3))
//This prints
//[ 'Sun', 'Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat' ]
console.log(abbreviatedDays);
