can someone help me get this javascript piece to work?

[glitchmaster0001]

Hi so recently i have been trying to learn javascript and python on codeacadamy and so far i have been stuck on this question for a while now and i don't know what im doing wrong. Can someone help me and explain what i did wrong in the script? I have tried using the hint button and it didn't really help me out that much. This is the question i have to answer. Complete the missing bits of code to construct the if / else statement. Make the condition evaluate to true. Finish the else statement by printing out the string "Error Error Error" to the console. 

 

here is my script. when i hit run it throws me a SyntaxError: Unexpected token )

if ("Jon".length * 2 / (2+1) === ) {
{
    console.log("The answer makes sense!");
} 
} else }
    console.log("Error Error Error");

Your brackets around else are wrong. Also, what is === comparing to in your if statement?

Just moved around the brackets.

 

if ("Jon".length * 2 / (2+1) === ) {
    console.log("The answer makes sense!");
} else {
    console.log("Error Error Error");

}

this should still throw an error as you're not comparing it to anything.

 

also there is no need for 2/(2+1) unless you plan on replacing then with variables just put the number you want to times by.

 

remember you order of operations too

(2+1) = 3

3*2 = 6

6/3 = 2

2/3*

the length of job is 3

 

3*2/(2+1) with BODMAS/PEDMAS would be just as I said. Multiplication comes before division just for going left to right.

Edit:

 

console.log("jon".length * 2 / (2+1));
2
