Courses Plus Student 8,447 PointsQuiz question has a big mistake
Hi Guys, I'm doing the JavaScript ES6 course,
link
https://teamtreehouse.com/library/getting-started-with-es2015-2/defining-variables-with-let-and-const/review-creating-variables-with-const
In the create variables with const
quiz there is an error which causes you to get an answer wrong even if you're correct.
The question asks
Which of the following produces a syntax error?
the choices are
A
const days = ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday'];
days.push('Saturday', 'Sunday');
B
const names = [ ];
names [0] = 'Sarah;
names[1] = 'Ryad';
names[2] = 'Nic';
C
const items ['eggs', 'milk', 'coffee'];
items.pop( );
items.pop( );
items.pop( );
D
None of the above.
The correct answer is supposed to be D
.
But the first time I tried the quiz I noticed that names[0] = 'Sarah;
is missing the closing single quote, which does not make it a string and therefore will return an error. I know because I wrote the code in my code editor and tried it and it return an error. I'm sure it's a typo but the instructors shoulc fix it. Andrew Chalkley Dave McFarland
