Without renaming any of the variables, modify the data callback to concatenate the stream of data to the responseBody

I dont understand what I am doing wrong

app.js 
const https = require("https");
const request = https.get("https://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", response => {
    let responseBody = "";

    response.on("data", dataChunk => {
          responseBody += dataChuck ;
    });

    response.on("", () => {
        console.log(responseBody);
    });

});

request.on("error", error => {
    console.error(error.message);
});

You have a spelling error, "dataChuck" instead of "dataChunk" (with an "n").
