const daysOfWeek = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"]; let abbreviatedDays = daysOfWeek.map(daysOfWeek => daysOfWeek.substring(0, 3)); console.log(abbreviatedDays);
the result is like the assignment but i don't pass
abbreviatedDays = [ 'Sun', 'Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat' ]
const daysOfWeek = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"];
let abbreviatedDays = daysOfWeek.map(daysOfWeek => daysOfWeek.substring(0, 3));
// abbreviatedDays should be: ["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"]
// Write your code below

Treehouse TeacherHi there! Your code should only be below the comments. This means that the original line with let abbreviatedDays should not be altered. Instead, include your map to change the value of the already declared variable below the comments. Often in these challenges, if they say to write your code below they mean it. Any alteration to the already existing code above will cause the challenge to fail.
Instead, below the comments I would expect to see something like:
abbreviatedDays = //your map here
Hope this helps!

const daysOfWeek = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"];
let abbreviatedDays;
abbreviatedDays = daysOfWeek.map(daysOfWeek => daysOfWeek.substring(0, 3));
