Courses Plus Student 5,925 PointsUpdate the variable of 'indexOfBrown' on about line 19, to find the index of the string of "brown" in the string 'quick'
My answer was:
var indexOfBrown = quick.indexOf("Brown");
why was this wrong? I read the forum and found the if I type "brown" instead of "Brown", it works. I hate this kind of glitches. I wish the instructor said something about upper case and lower case letters.

Courses Plus Student 5,925 PointsI am not the only one had this problem. I think if the instructor made it clear, we all would've got this right on first try. It's very upsetting. He prints out everything in console.log but never showed how to update or get this and that like how they actually ask the question. It takes us a while to figure out what it means and get to the answer, it's a guessing game. There's a huge disconnect between how he is teaching and how the questions are being asked. I am so frustrated over this and it's slowing me down.:(

var indexOfBrown = quick.indexOf("Brown")
