I can't seem to figure out how to get my new array formed from map() into the let abbreviatedDays, any suggestions?
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 abbr = daysOfWeek.map(day => day.substring(0,3));

27,008 PointsSo you need to use the variable abbreviatedDays that was supplied,
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(day => day.slice(0,3));
