No luck with this. Can anyone offer some help?

 function arrayCounter (bip) {
        if (typeof bip === 'string', 'number', 'undefined') {
          return 0; }
      return bip.length;
      }

Hey Bill,

Your if condition is slightly off. Separate each condition with an || "or" so that each condition can be identified.

So essentially you would be saying...

If type of input is string or type of input is number or type of input is undefined... do this... else... do this
