I feel so stuck at building a quiz JavaScript challenge.

I have learned the new upcoming JavaScript course (JavaScript Basics and Javascript function by Gil), and I found them very easy to follow. Now I have been studying and following the concept of the JavaScript array and loop videos by Dave. It's totally different and the videos are quite old. I understand the concept but when it's time to write them down. I feel stuck and my head just became totally blank. I wonder if there will be a new Javascript video about Array and loop in the future. Are there any tips to help me going through this challenge. Thank you so much.

I see now that there is another JS Quickstart course by Guil. Try this one out and see if it helps: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/-javascript-quickstart

While I cannot answer your question about when new videos about arrays and loops will be coming, I can tell you that I also found that course to be very challenging the first time I took it. Learning about arrays and looping through them was a very difficult concept for me to learn when I was first learning JavaScript, so please know you are in good company.

The only way out is to keep going. Go back, watch a video, take notes, pause, review your notes. Engage with the additional resources in the teacher's notes. Ask question about specific concepts here that currently elude you. Yes, you're finding loops and arrays to be challenging, but what specifically is difficult? The more specific you can get about what is holding you back, the easier it will be for others on forums to explain the concepts.

Please also remember that Treehouse courses are just once source. I encourage you to search the internet for other articles that explain these concepts, especially if MDN is a bit too challenging right now. Eventually, you will need to engage with the documentation on these concepts, but for now, continue to do some research. Find teachers online who explain the concepts and break them down in a way that makes sense to you.
