"Need to log final string to the console" -- how do I do this? Using .join(); and am not having this problem on console

Having trouble figuring out how to log the final string -- it's outputting on my external console.

script.js 
var months = ['January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December'];

for (i = 0; i <= months.length; i += 1) {
    months.join(', ');
  console.log(months);
}

Your for loop is causing the problem, the join method does the iteration for you when you use it on an array. All you need to do is create a new variable and set it equal to the join method called on the months array:

var string = months.join(", ");

Then console.log string, or you can skip variable declaration:

console.log(months.join(", "))
