I'm curious as to which step I missed to get the error mentioned in the title of this question?
var playList = [ ['I did it my way', 'Frank Sinatra'], ['Respect', 'Aretha'], ['Born to Run', 'Bruce Springsteen'], ];
function print(message) { document.write(message); }
function printSongs( songs ) { var listHTML = '<ol>'; for ( var i = 0; i < songs.length; i += 1) { listHTML += '<li>' + songs[i][0] + 'by' + songs[i][1] '</li>'; } listHTML += '</ol>'; print(listHTML); }
printSongs(playList);

But it looks like you may be missing a concatenation operator:
listHTML += '<li>' + songs[i][0] + 'by' + songs[i][1] '</li>';
// ^
// missing a "+" here?
