Doing some Javascript problems and this is the only one I can't seem to figure out. Any help would be amazing. Thanks.

function lastLetterSort(stringArray) { function byLastLetter(a, b) { //TODO: Sort the strings in alphabetical // order using their last letter // Read this about how the sort function works: // this byLastLetter function is a "compare function" // And check out the "comparing strings" section here: } stringArray.sort(byLastLetter); }

function sumArray(numberArray) { var sum = 0; // TODO: implement me using forEach return sum; }

function sumSort(arrayOfArrays) { arrayOfArrays.sort(function(item) { // TODO: implement me using sumArray // order the arrays based on the sum of the numbers // inside each array }); }

It looks like you have several problems here. Which one are you stuck on?

Here's one of them, just in case (or to get you started):

function sumArray(numberArray) {
  var sum = 0;
  numberArray.forEach(function(n){
    sum += n;
  })
  return sum;
}

:information_source: I should point out that .forEach() is less efficient than an ordinary for loop and indexing.
