JavaScript JavaScript Foundations Arrays Methods: Part 1

.unshift firstWord

On about line 20, add the 'firstWord' variable to the beginning of the array 'saying'.

so what i think its saying is to do the unshift method but ive tried everything else so somethin is wrong with the syntax and i cant figure it out. he didnt show anything about putting a var inside a var thats inside a var already. something is wrong . help please

You're thinking of the right method, but you're using it incorrectly.

You call the method on saying and pass the firstWord variable as a parameter, like this:

saying.unshift(firstWord);

ooooooohhhhhh that makes so much more sense lol thank you
