When I run the code it says Bummer: It looks like the value of times5 is null, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50
const numbers = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10];
let times5 = [];
// times5 should be: [5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50]
// Write your code below
numbers.forEach (function(number){
times5 [number] = number * 5;
});

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 35,771 PointsHi Paul,
I like the way you’ve written your code, so I’m going to try to help you solve this in a way that aligns with what you’ve already written (while advising you to check out the Array.push() method which you can read up on at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/push).
So, the reason for the Bummer is because the first item in the numbers array is not zero, but arrays in JavaScript are zero-indexed. And since the zeroth index is never assigned a value, its value becomes null. But... if you change times5[number] to times5[number-1], then each item in the times5 array will hold a value when the for loop finishes executing.
Hope that helps.
