JavaScript JavaScript Loops, Arrays and Objects Tracking Multiple Items with Arrays Using Array Methods

Code challenge keeps telling me to log the final string to the console. Not working!

I have used the join method to add a ", " between each list item and logged the array to the console but I keep getting the message "Bummer! You need to log the final string to the console."

Can someone tell me if I am doing something wrong. Thanks!

script.js
var months = ['January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December'];

months.join(', ');

console.log(months);

create a new var to put the string you are creating into, then log that to the console.

var months = ['January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December'];
var string = months.join(', ');

console.log(string);

Jeremiah Bushau is correct. An alternative solution is to log it out directly as follows:

var months = ['January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December'];
console.log(months.join(', '));

console.log(months.join(", "));

instead of

months.join(', '); console.log(months);
