14,626 PointsStuck on Functions, Stage 5 Code Challenge
The challenge is telling me that I haven't created a function called arrayCounter. I'd appreciate it if someone could help me locate the error. Here is my code. Thanks!
function arrayCounter(object) {
if (typeof array === 'string') {
return 0;} else if (typeof array === 'number')
return 0;} else if (typeof array === 'undefined')
return 0;} else {
return object.length;
}
}

14,626 PointsLooks fine to me. I guess I'm not sure what you mean. I tried rewriting it, but I more or less got the same thing.
function arrayCounter(myArray) { if (typeof myArray === 'string') { return 0;} else if (typeof myArray === 'string') return 0;} else if (typeof myArray === 'number') return 0;} else { return myArray.length; } }

14,626 PointsSorry, but I don't see it. The curly braces seem fine to me. The string typo above was a mistake rewriting the code in the comments. The original code posted at the top is what I'm trying to use.
Thanks.
Ben Goldman
14,626 PointsYep, I see it now. Two braces missing. Wow. I must have counted those over a two dozen times or more.
Thanks. Good eye.

12,088 PointsFrom what you have copied there, you're missing a "}" at the end.

12,623 PointsD'oh! Thanks Russel!
