Remember, methods are called on the array to provide some functionality. Treehouse provides a couple useful ones. Specifically, you are looking at the join method. Here is an example array:

var myArrayOfDays = [
    "Monday",
    "Tuesday",
    "Wednesday",
    "Thursday",
    "Friday",
    "Saturday",
    "Sunday"
  ];

If I wanted to combine the elements in my array into a string, I would call the join method on it. The join method takes one argument, what you want to separate each element in your array. So here would be the results of me running the join method:

myArrayOfDays.join(", ");

// would return:
// "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday"


// And if I pass just a space as a string:
myArrayOfDays.join(" ");

// It would return:
// "Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday"

// And if I pass just an empty string:
myArrayOfDays.join("");

// It would return:
// "MondayTuesdayWednesdayThursdayFridaySaturdaySunday"

I hope that helps and makes sense. Let me know if you would like me to explain a bit more and happy learning! :)

Have you watched the 'Useful Array Methods' video? The correct method is used in there :)
