8,857 PointsConfused on why we need to use the length property when returning the array.
What's the point of using the length property in this problem? I know that the challenge asks us for our method to return a number, but in the video, we never log that number into the console or anything, just the words of the array. As shown below, I didn't include the length property and could return the same result as in the video.
const myString = {
string: "Programming with Treehouse is fun!",
countWords: function() {
const myArray = this.string.split(' ');
return myArray;
}
}
console.log(myString.string.split(' '));
