Hi Niels,

I assume you are referring to the question assigning milesToTheMoon to an integer. You are correct that the one with the comma is the wrong answer. The other wrong answer is the value with quotes around it, which would make it a string. The correct answer has neither a comma or quotes around it.

Hi there, to store a number / integer in an integer quotation mark is not used as using these will make the assigned value into a string. eg. var numberCollection = 1234 var stringCollection ="1234" I hope this helps
