3,882 PointsWhy does the code challenge pass task one and then immediatly say I'm not passing when I start task two?
My code is fine when I finish task one.
Then, when I check my work for task two it says task one is not passing anymore. This happens even when I don't add any code for task two.
Am I doing this somehow or is this code challenge broken?
var mixture = ["hi", "bye", "hello", 1, 2, false];
var guides = new array(42);
Task one is to make an array with 3 strings, 2 numbers, and a bool. Task two is to "Set the 'guides' that has placeholders for 42 elements but has no values stored in it."

There is a syntax error in your second line of code that is kicking it back to Task 1. Array needs to be capitalized.

3,882 PointsI fixed that but also kicked it back to task one without adding any code for task two. (Passing test one and immediately clicking check code on task two would make me go back to task one and re-submit something I had never had to do before.
That being said I opened it in a new tab changed "array" to "Array" and it worked in the new tab without making me redo task one if I hadn't added any code.
I was in the middle of typing this when I got your notification.

I would guess that having it check Task 2 without anything defined for var guides causes the challenge checker to hiccup a bit when it is looking to evaluate the array guides for which it is looking.
Happy coding,
