<In what way does your code behave incorrectly? Include ALL error messages.>
it says that quarter is not defined and i’m not quite sure how to fix it

```

// Define quarter here.
var quaterDollar = function (number) {
return quaterDollar * 4;
quaterDollar(4);
};

if (quater(3) % 3 === 0 ) {
console.log(“The statement is true”);
} else {
console.log(“The statement is false”);
}

<do not remove the three backticks above>

return quater / 4;

} else {

This line

return quarter / 4;

you should change the quarter with number which is the argument of the function…
Then here

if (quarter(27) % 3 === 0 )

you should put number that can be divide by 4 and 3

9

They also ask you to create a function called quarter instead of the one you created, named quater.

For Fun:

var quarter = function (number) {
return number / 4;
};

if (quarter(12) % 3 === 0 ) {
console.log(“The statement is true”);
} else {
console.log(“The statement is false”);
}

Right Thank you Its work

This is my code. It works but there is a Range error. I would like to know what it exactly means.

var quarter = function(number) {

return quarter(number)/ 4;
}

if (quarter(12) % 3 === 0 ) {
console.log(“The statement is true”);
} else {
console.log(“The statement is false”);
}

13

HI inside the function quarter you should return …return number / 4

14

if (quater(27) % 3 === 0 )
it has to be 24 not 27

15

HI 12 is fine too

16

Could I receive some help on why I would be receiving an error on this code below? Thank you

var quarter=function(number); {
return number / 4;
};

if (quarter(12) % 3 === 0 ) {
console.log(“The statement is true”);
} else {
console.log(“The statement is false”);
}

The “;” after your parameter but before your opening curly bracket is incorrect.

Your code listed:
var quarter = function(number); {

Should be:
var quarter = function(number) {

Thanks mlw253. Now I’m getting a message that says I didn’t define the quarter function. Below is my current code:

var quarter= function (number) {
return quarter= number/4;
};

if (quarter(12) % 3 === 0 ) {
console.log(“The statement is true”);
} else {
console.log(“The statement is false”);
}

19

HI this line

return quarter= number/4;

you should remove the quarter =
