Hello, I almost figured out the solution on my own. Upon checking the video, I noticed the '.length' string method does not include the appended '( )' . This was my only mistake and I'm curious as to why '.length' does NOT require the 'parameter field', yet an alternate charactering counting string method '.charAt()' does.
Are they not both string methods?
