Hi Wesen,

You don't have to display it.

Task 1 states "Update the variable of 'quickLength' on line 18, to assign the length of the string 'quick'."

You only have to change line 18, not add in any extra code.

Here's line 18:

var quickLength  = quick;

Currently the string quick is being assigned to quickLength but quickLength should be assigned the length of the string quick

So you only need to update that line so that it stores the length of the string.

Let me know if you're still not sure.
