JavaScript JavaScript Loops, Arrays and Objects Tracking Multiple Items with Arrays Using Array Methods

Challenge task 1 of 1 on tracking multiple items with arrays using array methods

Use the array method that combines all the items in an array into a single string. In the final string, the array items should be separated by a comma and a space. Finally log the string value to the console.

Can you please assist.

script.js 
var months = ['January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December'];
var year=months.join(',');
console.log(months);

You are almost there, but your code needs a few corrections. Your code looks like this:

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

You should have year in console.log(), like this console.log(year). Also after the comma in .join() there should be space after that comma like this .join(', ') . This is how your code should look like:

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

`Hi I was just having the same issue, it should look more like

var year=months.join(', '); console.log(year);

hope that helps and you forgot the , space

You must pass a string with a comma AND a space -- ', ' -- as the argument to the .join() method.

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