Hi there, Azzie Fuzzie! You have a small typo. You've inadvertently transposed the + and the = inside the the for loop.

You typed:

for (let i = 0 ; i < mylist.length; i =+ 1)

But it's the last little bit that's incorrect. That should be:

for (let i = 0 ; i < mylist.length; i += 1)

It should be += as opposed to =+. The order matters :smiley:

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
