```jQuery
$('.required input').map(function(){
        values = $(this).val();
    return values;
});
```

You need to create the var 'values' at the beginning.
```
var values = $(".required").map(function() { 
    return $(this).val();
});
```

You only need to use .required as the selector and the jQuery map method returns a jQuery object, which contains an array, so you can assign the whole jQuery statement to the values variable like this .
Read more about it here (http://api.jquery.com/map/)
```javascript
var values = $('.required').map(function(){   
    return $(this).val();
});
```
