JavaScript Introducing the Practice

Why is there an exercise that, to solve, requires watching additional videos beyond what the student has so far seen?

This is clearly just laziness. Treehouse really should rerecord the exercise that corresponds with this module to something pertinent to the videos that are part of this module.

I noticed this too. The videos that it mentions below have not been shown to me prior to this task showing up... Maybe I'm missing something??

This was my first thought, my second was to use google but that feels like cheating since we haven't learned this yet?

I think what they did here was, "You should start getting familiar with googling stuff". To be a good developer you should know how to search up things. I managed to complete the challenge by using professor google's help.

It looks like you we have to complete "Working with strings" first. I'm guessing this practice is in the wrong place but who knows. I'm going to come back to it.

For someone who hasn't learned Object Orientated Program language before this would be difficult.
