Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 21,661 PointsCode return true instead of filtered array
I am trying the following challenge but I cannot seem to pass it, when I try
const years = [1989, 2015, 2000, 1999, 2013, 1973, 2012];
let century20;
years.filter((yrs)=> {
return century20 = yrs <= 2000
});
console.log(century20);
it gives me a boolean,but when I do
const years = [1989, 2015, 2000, 1999, 2013, 1973, 2012];
let century20 = years.filter(year=> {
if(year <= 2000){
console.log(year);
}
});
it works giving me a new array, but the challenge doesn't require the latter example.
const years = [1989, 2015, 2000, 1999, 2013, 1973, 2012];
let century20;
// century20 should be: [1989, 2000, 1999, 1973]
// Write your code below
years.filter(yrs=> century20 = yrs <= 2000)

19,952 PointsYou are setting century20 in the wrong place. The filter command needs a function which returns a boolean value for each element of the array. Remove the 'century20 =' from after the return and the function will now test to see if the year is <=2000 and return true if it is and false if it isn't. Then filter will filter the values you want. This is what you should store in century20. You need:
century20 = years.filter((yrs)=> {
return yrs <= 2000
});
