7,512 Points"items is not defined at createListItems"
This is my code:
function createListItems(arr) {
let items = '';
for ( let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
items += <li>${ arr[i] }</li>;
}
return items;
}
I've looked over it multiple times, re-written it, copied it from the video and it's still telling me that items is undefined in the console when I try to call playlist. I hope it's not just a simple syntax error that I am overlooking.

The bad news, it is just a little syntax error. The good news, it's very easy to fix and the rest of your code looks great!
Your code above doesn't have the template literal (aka <li>${ arr[i] }</li>) surrounded by backticks. Backticks (`) are usually sharing the key with the tilde (~) in the top left of the keyboard. Your complete code should look like this:
function createListItems(arr) {
let items = '';
for ( let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
// backticks(`) marked in code below with asterisks(*)
// * *
items += `<li>${ arr[i] }</li>`;
}
return items;
}
Hope this helps!
