jQuery Challenge Help

Create a method called 'requiredValues' that returns an array of all the values of inputs with the class of 'required'.

function isValidEmail(email) {
  return email.indexOf("@") != -1;
}
function requiredValues() {
  var required = new Array();
  return.Array(.required);
}

Here's the answer:

var requiredValues = function() {
    var myArray = new Array();
    $(".required").each(function() {
        myArray.push($(this).val());
    });
    return myArray;
}

What this is doing is first creating a new array, then selecting all inputs with the class of .required, then it iterates through each one with the .each() function, gets the value of each input with $(this).val(), and adds the value of that specific input onto the the array myArray with the .push() function. Finally it returns the array myArray.
