Please help solve this challenge task. #array #.joinmethod

Use the array method that combines all of the items in an array into a single string. In the final string, the array items should be separated by a comma AND a space. Finally, log the final string value to the console.

script.js
var months = ['January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December'];
var mama = months.join(['December' = ', ']);
console.log(months);

Hi Vytas try this and let me know. If it doesn't work i'll take another look at it for you.

var mama = months.join(', '); console.log(months[11]);

So, we created a variable 'mama' stored 'months' as the value and joined the string using .join(', '). Then we print to the console using 'console.log' we call on the months which holds your joined string and we add brackets. Those brackets represent the array that holds the months, which has a zero index. The zero index holds month 'January' the 3 index holds 'April' but we are looking for December which happens to be in the 11th index spot. We place 11 inside the brackets and we get our final answer.

No. Your solution either doesn't work. I tried this but still nothing.

var months = ['January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December']; var allMonths = months.indexOf(11); var allMonths2 = allMonths.join(', ');

console.log(allMonths2);

var monthsString = months.join(', ');
console.log(monthsString);
