I'm not sure how to answer this question

The challenge question is "Update the variable of 'quickLength' on line 18, to assign the length of the string 'quick'."

  <script>
      var quick = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";

          var quickLength    = quick;
          var indexOfBrown = quick;
          var tenthCharacter = quick;
          var wordBrown = quick;
          var quickUpper = quick;
          var quickLower = quick;
    </script>

The challenge is asking you to use javascript's length property to find the length of the string and save that value in the variable called quickLength. More on that property can be found here. So, in the end, the line that now reads:

var quickLength = quick;

should be updated to read:

var quickLength = quick.length;
