Answer 1

No, no it is not, the other problem is you are trying to overwork the poor 🐌😢. According to your algorithm, the snail will have to travel an extra day. What did that poor 🐌😢 ever do to you?😉

He can climb 7ft in a day and slides down 2ft when he takes a rest at night. What is 35 + 7? In other words, you need to check if the little fella has reached his goal(42ft) before you subtract 2ft for his resting.

-btw The code snippet you wrote does not match the code you linked.

Answer 2

Take a closer look at the if statement. Are you trying to asign or compare?

Answer 3

Thanks. I just saw it now. Is that the only problem?

Answer 4

I have solved the problem. That was I code I wrote before getting it correctly. I was just wondering why it was outputting 0 0. It's my first time asking questions on this platform. I didn't know how to do it right. I'm sorry and thank you for your help

Answer 5

if (climbed = depth) {
console.log(days)

days = 0
So console.log(days);
//output 0

Answer 6

I'm glad to hear that, and you are welcome.
