1,731 PointsWhy don't I obtain the same result?
In this code according to the video: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/adding-a-method-solution the expected result is : ['programming', 'with', 'Treehouse','is','fun!']
but the result I have is: [ "P", "r", "o", "g", "r", "a", "m", "m", "i", "n", … ] note: I am using the same code that in the video.
const myString = { string: "Programming with Treehouse is fun!", countWords: function(){ const wordArray= this.string.split(''); return wordArray.length; } } console.log(myString.string.split(''));
thanks a lot!

Try adding a space between the string that you’re passing into the split method. It’ll look something like this: string.split(‘ ‘) instead of this: string.split(‘’).
Currently it doesn’t not look like there’s a space between the quotes, and so I think that instead of splitting at every space in the string Programming with Treehouse is fun!, it’s splitting after every character.
