var text = “Hello there this is Jon, and how are you doing today? Good because Jon is
is good too!”;
var myName = “Jon”;
var hits = ;
for (i = 0; i > text.length; i += 1) {
if (text[i] === “J”) {
for (var j = i; j < (myName.length + 1); j += 1) {
hits.push(text[j]);
}
}
};
I keep on getting an error message saying and quote “Oops, try again. It looks like your second ‘for’ loop isn’t pushing values to the hits array. Make sure it’s working properly and that myName’s text appears somewhere in the text variable.” I’m unsure what I’m doing wrong, though I suspect it’s something really simple.

Hi these parts
1
for (i = 0; i > text.length; i += 1)
You should put your i > text.length like that
i < text.length
2
for (var j = i; j < (myName.length + 1); j += 1)
Here myName.length + 1
instead of 1 you should add i

if (text[i] === “i”) {
for ( var j = i; j < (i + myName.length); j++) {
hits.push([j])
}
}
}
i looked through the adjustements you made and i still couldnt figure out where i went wrong

Hi first here
for (i = 0; i > text.length; i++)
Change the i > text.length
to i < text.length
Then here
hits.push([j])
You should push text[j]

I get the error message It looks like your second ‘for’ loop isn’t pushing values to the hits array. I’ve looked at the other replies, but i can’t get mine to work. Any ideas? thanks

Instead of 1

Hi this part
for(i=0 ; i> text.length; i++)
Change the i > text.length
to i < text.length
So its should be like that
for(i=0 ; i < text.length; i++)
Can someone take a look for me please? Based on my review of the forums and the lessons,
the below is where I am currently stuck. My second “FOR” loop isn’t working. Also, do I have the hits.push(text[j])
in the right place? Thanks.
The error message I receive is “Oops, try again. Careful: your second ‘for’ loop should stop when it reaches its current point in the string + myName.length.”
My Code:
text = "Hey, Dany. You are so brave for trying \
to learn to code. Dany has real grit and \
determination. Go, Dany!";
var myName = "Dany";
var hits = [];
for (var i=0; i<=text.length; i++) {
if(text[i] === "D") {
for (var j=i; i + j<myName.length; j++) {
for (var k=j; i + k<myName.length; k++) {
for (var l=k; i = l<myName.length; l++) {
}
}
}
}
}
hits.push(text[j])

Hi this part
for (var j=i; i + j for (var k=j; i + k for (var l=k; i = l }
You should do it like that
for (var j = i; j < i + myName.length; j++)
Thanks. To be clear, are you saying that I need to get rid of the following block of code because once I wrote j, I didn’t need to take it further with K and l?
for (var k=j; i + k<myName.length; k++) {
for (var l=k; i = l<myName.length; l++) {
}

Yes remove this part.
And your hits.push(text[j])
should be inside your second for loop.

Still not working. My error is Oops, try again. Careful: your second ‘for’ loop should stop when it reaches its current point in the string + myName.length.
Which I thought I eliminated that error by removing those lines…
ar myName = “Dany”;
var hits = ;
for (var i=0; i<=text.length; i++) {
if(text[i] === “D”) {
for (var j=i; i + j<myName.length; j++) {
}
}
hits.push(text[j]);
}

First your second for loop should be like that
for (var j = i; j < i + myName.length; j++)
Your code should gave that strutture
for ( condition){ #first for loop
if (condition) { #if statement
for (condition){ #secondo for loop
hits.push(text[j])
} # close the second for loop
} # close the if statement
} # close the first for loop

If you’re going to just hand someone the correct code, you should at least explain what the code does and what was wrong with what they did prior. You’re not helping anyone by just saying, ‘change it to blah’. It allows them to move forward to something more complex and still not understand the code they just moved on from. An explosion of frustration waiting to happen which may end with them giving up.

Hi the error come from here
for(var i = 0; i console.log("fine doing math" )
Because the for loop should have this structure
for (statement 1; statement 2; statement 3)
Just like your second for loop and in your first for loop they aske you to go through eash letter of the variable text.
And here you should remove the ;
after your second for loop statement
for(j = i; j<( myName.length +i); j += 1); <== this one
