I am just working through the Arrays course in Loops, Arrays and Objects and the 'helpers.js' file has a different code to Dave's code in the video, producing a console error thus meaning the code doesn't work.
helpers.js code:
function printList( list ) {
var listHTML = '<ol>';
for (var i = o; i < list.length; i += 1) {
listHTML += '<li>' + elem + '</li>';
}
listHTML += '</ol>';
print(listHTML);
}
function print(html) {
document.write(html);
}
Dave's Code:
function printList( list ) {
var listHTML = '<ol>';
for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i += 1) {
listHTML += '<li>' + list[i] + '</li>';
}
listHTML += '</ol>';
print(listHTML);
}
function print(html) {
document.write(html);
}
The difference being
var i = o
when it should be
var i = 0
and
listHTML += '<li>' + elem + '</li>';
when it should be
listHTML += '<li>' + list[i] + '</li>';

Treehouse TeacherSorry for this error, and THANK YOU for pointing it out. I've fixed the workspace so that the helper.js file has the correct code.

22,291 PointsHi Dave,
No worries, thanks for making the changes.
Great course btw, I've been trying to pick JavaScript and jQuery up for a long time with no real success but after reading your book on the subjects and then backing that up with the Treehouse videos I now understand it and am using it a lot more in my projects.
Keep up the good work :)
