Hi, My function is named properly and return a random object from the quotes array. However, I got the feedback below. I'm not clear about that. Could someone explain for me? @@ "Function is not named getRandomQuote. Function does not return a random object from the quotes array. Reviewer Comments: Your getRandomQuote function is properly named and it returns a random object from a given array of objects, but in order to meet expectations it needs to return a random object from the quotes array specifically. "
My function here:
// 2. Create the getRandomQuote function and name it getRandomQuote to get a certain quote.
function getRandomQuote(array) {
let randQuote = array[Math.floor(Math.random() * (quotes.length))];
return randQuote;
}

I can't see how the question is worded, but based on the "Function does not return a random object from the quotes array." feedback it seems a little harsh to me. I would say it meets that requirement.
You could re-write it as something like:
// 2. Create the getRandomQuote function and name it getRandomQuote to get a certain quote.
function getRandomQuote() {
let randQuote = quotes[Math.floor(Math.random() * (quotes.length))];
return randQuote;
}
And then just call getRandomQuote() elsewhere in your code.
Hope this helps :)

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 17,299 PointsThanks, James!!! You're right! It should be a specific array(quotes) to hit the rubric requirement. :)
