I watched the video for this subject several times but I'm not grasping it and can't put it together. Anyone out there who has some advice?
Greetings Indra

Just be aware that code people post will often be incorrect, but sometimes you can learn from their mistakes and/or from the answers.

2,199 PointsThank you all for answering. Yeah, I shouldn't have attached the code challenge. I just can't seem to grasp the info in the video. I'm going to give it another try with your explanations.
Thank you all!
