JQuery Form Validation Challenge 2

Really struggling with this. Not sure if I'm close or not. It asks "Create a method called 'requiredValues' that returns an array of all the values of inputs with the class of 'required'." This is one thing I tried: 

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

Hey Joshua,

Haven't taken the course, but maybe:

function requiredValues(){
    var values = [];
    $("input.required").each(function(){
        values.push( $(this).val() );
    });
    return values;
}

Jay Goettelmann - Remember our goal here on the forum is give help not answers, next time try giving an explanation and/or a hint instead. Rather than just giving someone the answer, I'd suggest you take a look at their code and try and figure out where they went wrong and give them a hint to point them in the right direction.

Joshua Moore, even if you've moved on, I think you will really benefit from the .each documentation, to help you totally grok this Code Challenge! It seems that's where you first run into trouble in your code at line 4.

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into that. :)
