I have a problem with practicing OOP JavaScript exercise.

According to the OOP Javascript lesson: updating a property solution, I have written my code following the solution video.

const myString = { string: "Programming with Treehouse is fun!", countWords: function(){ const wordArray = this.string.split(' '); return wordArray.length; } }

const numWords = myString'countWords'; myString.characters = myString.string.length;

myString.string = "I love full stack JavaScript!";

Everything looks exactly the same as solution video but I am not sure where it's wrong. Thank you so much!

mystring.js 
const myString = {
    string: "Programming with Treehouse is fun!",
    countWords: function(){
        const wordArray = this.string.split(' ');
        return wordArray.length;
    }
}

const numWords = myString['countWords']();
myString.characters = myString.string.length;

myString.string = "I love full stack JavaScript!";

console.log(myString);

The error message gives you the solution. This:

"I love full stack JavaScript!"

needs to match exactly what was provided in the challenge.

"I love full stack JavaScript"

In the video, she wrote, "I love full stack JavaScript!" so I thought the exercise was a bit wrong because there is without !

const myString = { string: "Programming with Treehouse is fun!", countWords: function(){ const wordArray = this.string.split(' '); return wordArray.length; } }

const numWords = myString'countWords'; myString.characters = myString.string.length;

myString.string = "I love full stack JavaScript!";

console.log(myString); it is really work
