Here is a hint below. The idea is that you need to define a function that takes one parameter. Then you need to check if the parameter passed in is a string, undefined, or a number. If it is, you return 0. Otherwise, aka else, you need to return the length of the parameter. Does that help?

function arrayCounter(array){
  if (Check to see if the parameter is a string, number, undefined) {
    return 0;
  } else {
     return array.length;
  }
}
