668 PointsChallenge Task bug???
Not sure what the problem is here, I get this error: There was an error with your code: ReferenceError: Strict mode forbids implicit creation of global property '$newStudent'
The instructions demand that I create a new variable $newStudent

var $newStudent = $('<li>Sam Smith</li>');

668 PointsIt accepted your answer, I think this question is really poorly written as I thought that it was asking us to append a new item but it didn't want us to do that until the next step.

668 PointsIt's always the small things isn't it? I've even completed all the more complex challenges but couldn't see this small error haha. Thanks!!!

668 PointsActually, your answer is also incorrect, I had just missed writing const and var but the answer needs the append() method so your statement isn't right either. Nonetheless, very grateful as I was probably never going to notice I didn't have const or var in my code. Of course now I'll be far more careful.
