function arrayCounter (1, 2, 3) {
return arrayCounter.length;
}
console.log(arrayCounter);
if(arrayCounter === 'undefined') {
return 0;
}
console.log(arrayCounter);
You're using semi-colons instead of curly brackets

13,402 PointsIndeed! Like Jesus said, you need to use curly braces for your function definition, as such:
function (param1, param2) { //outer curly braces //do some stuff
var curlyBracesUsed = true;
if (curlyBracesUsed) { //inner braces
return "Then everything works!";
} //inner braces
} //outer curly braces
If this helped, mark me right, I want some of those sweet sweet forum points! :D

function arrayCounter(array) {
if (typeof(array) === "string"){
return 0;
}
else if (typeof(array) === "number") {
return 0;
}
else if (typeof(array) === 'undefined') {
return 0;
}
else {
return array.length;
}
}
