Finally, implement the divide method.

this one wants me to divide method

calculator.js 
var calculator = {
  sum: 0,
  add: function(value) {
    this.sum += value;
  },
  subtract: function(value) {
    this.sum -= value;
  },
  multiply: function(value) {
    this.sum *= value;
  },
  divide: function(value) {
    this.sum /= value;
  },
  clear: function() {
    this.sum = 0;
  }, 
  equals: function() {
    return this.sum;
  }
}

That looks correct to me! Are you getting an error when trying to submit your work?

aycee morrow There seems to be nothing wrong with your code. It worked for me. Did you click "Check Work" to test it?

While we are always happy to help, it's best to attempt the task yourself first.

Seems to be right. This worked for me:

var calculator = {
  sum: 0,
  add: function(value) {
    this.sum += value;
  },
  subtract: function(value) {
    this.sum -= value;
  },
  multiply: function(value) {
    this.sum *= value;
  },
  divide: function(value) {
    this.sum /= value;
  },
  clear: function() {
    this.sum = 0;
  }, 
  equals: function() {
    return this.sum;
  }
}
