Hello!

To finish the calculator you need to write the functions for each of the other operations.

Use the syntax from the addition function and complete with the different operators.

ex:

 subtract: function(value) {
     this.sum -= value;
  },

Hope that helps!

Here is part of it, you need to finish it one more....You can do it!

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

Thank you very much. this helped a lot. I passed.
