What Am I doing wrong here
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
const days = daysOfWeek.map(day => day.substr(0,3));
abbreviatedDays = days;

Your code definitely works. I think youβre just confusing the challenge by setting a constant days
. Instead, just set the value of abbreviatedDays directly (remove const days).
Cheers ?

20,277 PointsThe questions says: Use the map method on the daysOfWeek array, creating a new array of abbreviated week days. Each abbreviated string should be the first three letters of the long version in daysOfWeek. Store the new array in the variable abbreviatedDays.
what would another way be to solve it. I tried
const daysOfWeek = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"];
let abbreviatedDays = daysOfWeek.map(day => day.substr(0,3));
and it says:
Bummer! It looks like you changed or removed the provided code. You can hit "Restart" if you want to start over.
