Methods part 1 Task 3

I can't get past this question. It's asking me "On about line 20, add the 'firstWord' variable to the beginning of the array 'saying'."

My code below:

<script>
  var spareWords = ["The","chimney","sweep's","dog"];
  var saying = ["quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps", "over", "the", "lazy"];
  var firstWord = spareWords.shift();
  var lastWord = spareWords.pop();
  saying .unshift(firstWord);
  saying .unshift(lastWord);
</script>

Any help is appreciated.

saying .unshift(firstWord);

I got rid of the space you had between "saying" and ".unshift(firstWord);" . . . and it passed.

Its because under it you have this line saying.unshift(lastWord);. just comment it out like this //saying .unshift(lastWord); and it should pass.

Thanks! It was conflicting with the previous task. It worked after commenting it out.

saying.unshift(firstWord); You had a space there.

It's still giving me an error even after I closed the space. It returns: Bummer! There's something wrong with your 'saying' array.
