TheCoder semi-colons are optionnal in js... even if I don't like that and personnally I put semi-colon at end of all my statements ;)

Answer 6

bop cho exactly, do what visph said but add semicolons (;) at the end of line 2 - 4! :)

Answer 7

visph understood, awesome code! But once I didn't use semicolons then after a lot of lines without semicolons it said too many errors scanned 😅

Answer 8

that's not the lacks of semi-colons fault, but the code length and/or number of error already encountered wich could produce this behavior... ;)

Answer 9

Okay, thanks for the information!

Wait wait wait... both of us forgot parseInt()! Change the value to an integer then it should work :)

Edit: I ran the code without parseInt and it worked... BUT HOW? 🤯🤯🤯
