Treehouse Project ReviewerHey @Kaya loves watermelon it looks like you have a similar syntax error to some of your other posts you've created, the _
prefix needs to be removed as it's not part of the variable name, remember to just reference the variable name as it is without prefixing or adding whitespaces etc:
console.log(totalStudents);
