I can't move on to the last section of the pre-req classes so that I can finish registering for the class because I keep getting a communication failed error on my 3rd challenge task it is on one of my first ones. I have finished everything else. I just need to move to my careers foundations and do that , but I can't because of this issue with the communication error. There are a lot of bugs in your system. Can you please check on this for me so that I may move forward. Thank you very much.

:warning: SPOILER ALERT

I've gotten those "communication failed" messages sometimes when I accidentally submit an error in a challenge answer. On the 3rd task of this challenge all you do is call the function you created in tasks 1 and 2. There's no loop involved. Did your code look like this?

function sayHi() {
  alert("Hi");
}

sayHi();
