Working code = good job. :+1: And I can see that this code would work if it was formatted.

Even if they're not required at the end of a line, it's a "best practice" to put semicolons at the end of each statement. Since they weren't there, when the lack of formatting folded the lines above, the code became non-functional.

And to prevent line folding and other undesirable changes, always use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area. :arrow_heading_down:   Or watch this video on code formatting.

Great! Thank you, Steven! I will be sure to reference the Markdown Cheatsheet for future posts.

For practice, you might edit this question so the code is formatted for the benefit of any students reading it later.
