hey norman Fernandez , this challenge is all about the best practices, so in the previous videos it was explained that we should declare our variable at the beginning of the function (just a blank one) and then later assign the value IF needed.

so by putting these ideas into the challenge the function would look like this:

function elevatorCloseButton(pushed) {
    var status;
        if (pushed) {
        status = "I'll close when I'm ready.";
        }
    }

hope that helps and have a nice day ;)
