copied!<p><code>=</code> is assignment, but in conditional statements you need to check for equality (<code>==</code>), check if something is greater (<code>></code>), check if something is less (<code><</code>) etc. You are assigning the variable <code>j</code> the length of <code>myName</code> rather than checking some condition on this line:</p> <pre><code>for(var j = i;j = myName.length;){ </code></pre> <p>Instead you probably need to do something like this:</p> <pre><code>for(var j = i;j <= myName.length;){ </code></pre> <p>However, this may not necessarily be the solution to your Codecademy Assignment, but it will solve your specific javascript error. play around with and read up on <code><</code>, <code>></code>, <code>==</code> and the other conditionals mentioned <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_comparisons.asp" rel="nofollow">here</a> to try to figure out what works.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> if you wanted a solution to your entire problem, it would have been helpful to post a link to the problem in the question and not only mention the specific error you were getting, but explain the entire question. That being said, you missed a few things here:</p> <ol> <li>You were doing assignment instead of checking a condition as I explained above.</li> <li>You forgot to increment <code>j</code> in your <code>for</code> loop as Franklin mentioned in the comments. You need to do <code>j++</code>.</li> <li>You are not stopping at the correct point in the string. As Codecademy says, "...your second <code>for</code> loop should stop when it reaches its current point in the string + <code>myName.length</code>." This means that you need to stop at <code>text.length + myName.length</code> instead of just <code>myName.length</code>. That also means you should use <code><</code> rather than <code><=</code> as I recommended above.</li> </ol> <p>Putting all of that together, the solution is to put this line:</p> <pre><code>for(var j = i;j < (text.length + myName.length); j++){ </code></pre> <p>in place of of this line:</p> <pre><code>for(var j = i;j = myName.length;){ </code></pre>
