Hi Jacob you are using the correct array method (months.join(', ') ) and you have the right idea however this can be made much more simply. For example, we don't need a print function as all we are doing is logging the information to the console. We can break this simple process down into the following two steps:

  1. Create a variable called year that joins all the values of the months array separated by ', '
  2. Log the year variable to the console

By using these steps we can do the following:

var months = ['January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December'];
var year = months.join(', '); //create year variable
console.log(year); //log the year variable to the console

Hope that helps!!
