var playList = [
['I did it my way','Frank Sinatra'],
['respect', 'Aretha'],
['Iamgine', 'John Lennon'],
['Born to run','Bruce'],
['Louie Louie', 'The Kingsmen'],
['Mabellene','Chuck Berry']
];
function print(message) {
document.write(message);
}
function printSongs( songs ) {
var listHTML = '<ol>';
for ( var i = 0; i < songs.length; i += 1) {
listHTML += '<li>' + songs[i][0] + ' by ' + songs [i][1] '</li>';
}
listHTML += '</ol>';
print(listHTML);
}
printSongs(playList);

Something else which may cause an error is on the same line, right before there the above should be placed, there is space between songs and the array notation -- "songs< SHOULD BE NO SPACE HERE >[i][1]"

It looks like you had quotes around songs[i][0] and songs[i][1] which were unnecessary. Doing so would not print the array item you were trying to print. You also had an extra quote string that was not closed.
Try the code below, and if it works, compare it to your own.
var playList = [ ['I did it my way','Frank Sinatra'], ['respect', 'Aretha'], ['Imagine', 'John Lennon'], ['Born to run','Bruce'], ['Louie Louie', 'The Kingsmen'], ['Mabellene','Chuck Berry'] ];
function print (message) { document.write(message); }
function printSongs( songs ) { var listHTML = ''; for ( var i = 0; i < songs.length; i += 1) { listHTML += songs[i][0] + ' by ' + songs [i][1]; } listHTML += ''; print(listHTML); } printSongs(playList);
Regards, Dan
