It says ... Use the 'splice' method to replace "quick" and "brown" from the 'saying' array and add "slow" and "red" in their place in that order.
My code is
But it fails and says "
Bummer! Expecting the array to be 'The,slow,red,fox,jumps,over,the,lazy,dog' but got 'The,slow,red,fox,jumps,over,the,lazy,dog'"
However I have aligned that and they match
The,slow,red,fox,jumps,over,the,lazy,dog
The,slow,red,fox,jumps,over,the,lazy,dog
So I don't understand what I'm doing wrong?

["The", ["slow", "red"], "fox", "jumps", "over", "the", "lazy", "dog"]
Array.prototype.splice() takes as many parameters as needed, but not in a from of an array (if you pass it an array, it will insert that array as a single element of the array the method was called on). If you want to add more than one new element, you just add more parameters to splice, like this:
saying.splice(1, 2, "slow", "red");

saying.splice(1,2,"slow","red");
