I'm almost ready to finish the PHP Development track, but I bumped into a problem with a challenge from Javascript basics.
It asks me to see what's the length of a javascript string variabile, but if I use the exact method mentioned in the video course it returns an error.
The request is:
Challenge task 1 of 6
Update the variable of 'quickLength' on line 18, to assign the length of the string 'quick'.
The error is:
Bummer! You're missing .length
The code is:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title> JavaScript Foundations: Strings</title>
<style>
html {
background: #FAFAFA;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>JavaScript Foundations</h1>
<h2>Strings: Methods</h2>
<script>
var quick = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
var quickLength = quick.lenght;
var indexOfBrown = quick;
var tenthCharacter = quick;
var wordBrown = quick;
var quickUpper = quick;
var quickLower = quick;
</script>
</body>
</html>
Any help would be much appreciated if I'm missing something.
