Hi everyone, maybe this is a stupid question! But why Dave created the playlist.js file outside the folder js? Do I always have to create a second js file, like in this case, outside the main folder? Thanks!

8,051 PointsThanks Steven for the reply, but my question was different. I'd simply like to know why he created playlist.js outside the folder js and after he put again playlist.js in the folder js... Couldn't he immediately create the folder playlist.js directly in the folder js?? Is there a reason why he did it so or not?

Courses Plus Student 55,489 PointsHe created it outside of the folder by mistake, because he was not on the js folder when he chose File > New File. So he simply moved it into the folder afterwards. So yes, he could have created the file straight in the folder.
@melissakeith If the array is not printing there is something else wrong with your code or setup. Is it resolved for you?
