1,754 PointsWell this is new for me and until I get used to it, it will last a while. Help me solve this challenge...
Well I understand the overall idea but it's complicated until I memorize the functionality of the process. I don't understand if I should add name.forEach (); as a new code line or if I should add it inside the times10 brackets ? Anyway I can't seam to figure it out this way, can you help me ? Html & CSS are more easily to understand it seam in comparison only. Thank you for you help !
const numbers = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10];
let times10 = [for];
// times10 should be: [10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100]
// Write your code below

// declare a constant variable with a reference in memory named numbers, and
// assign that variable the value of an array with the given array values.
const numbers = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10];
//declare a scoped variable with a reference in memory named times10, and
// assign that variable the value of an empty array
let times10 = [];
So, we have two variables, each representing arrays. the times10 array is currently empty.
There are 2 steps to this problem. First, for each stored value in the numbers array, we need it's multiple of 10. Second, we need to store these multiples of 10 in the times10 array.
After some research, we discover that the forEach method takes an anonymous function, and that the parameter passed into the anonymous function represents the iterated value during each iteration of the array.
Let's solve the first problem.
numbers.forEach(function(number){
//First
let multiple = number * 10;
})
The above code iterates over each value in the numbers array. with each iteration, it assigns the scoped variable of multiple the value of the given number multiplied by ten. Let's solve step two and make sure we store this somewhere.
after some more research on how to add values to an empty array, we discover that arrays have a push() method that can help us.
numbers.forEach(function(number){
//First
let multiple = number * 10;
//Second
times10.push(multiple)
})
Booyah! How do you like 'dem apples?

1,754 PointsThank you for taking the time to answer my question, in fact I found out I needed to start with the beginners java course and I did so as a result the website suggested this course for java. When I will reach this level I will take notice of your answer. Thank you!

231,236 PointsYou had it right the first time. Add new code below the line that says "Write your code below". Don't change the code that is provided to start with.
Hint: instead of "name.forEach()
" you will use "numbers
.forEach()
" (nothing called "name" has been defined).
Hopefully you can get it now without a spoiler.
