Would like to help... But you're not specifying what the solution is needed for!

So may I ask, what are you trying to accomplish with this code?

The first step toward solving a problem, is determining what exactly needs to be solved...

Try breaking the instructions down.

  • Using jQuery only :point_right: so we'd start with a selector inside of "$()"
  • all links with the class "external" :point_right: links are "a", so the selector would be "a.external"
  • add... the target attribute with the value of "_blank" :point_right: .attr("target", "_blank")

So combine those into a single statement and you should have it (no variables needed).
