You're so close! Your line looks great, but it's commented out. In JavaScript, you can leave comments so you can write notes for yourself that the interpreter won't see. When JavaScript sees //, it will think the rest of the line is just for you to see and won't look at it. If you remove those slashes before the line you wrote, I believe you'll pass

Shihab Al Khandaqji I tried your code in the challenge and Michael is correct - remove the forward slashes and the challenge will pass.
