--description--

When inverted is false, you want to build a standard pyramid. Use .push() like you have in previous steps to achieve this.

--hints--

You should call the .push() method of rows in your else block.

js
assert.match(__helpers.removeJSComments(code), /if\s*\(\s*inverted\s*\)\s*\{\s*rows\.unshift\(\s*padRow\(\s*i\s*,\s*count\s*\)\s*\);\s*\}\s*else\s*\{\s*rows\.push\(\s*/);

You should pass a padRow() call as the argument for your .push() method.

js
assert.match(__helpers.removeJSComments(code), /if\s*\(\s*inverted\s*\)\s*\{\s*rows\.unshift\(\s*padRow\(\s*i\s*,\s*count\s*\)\s*\);\s*\}\s*else\s*\{\s*rows\.push\(\s*padRow\(/);

You should pass i as the first argument to your padRow() call.

js
assert.match(__helpers.removeJSComments(code), /if\s*\(\s*inverted\s*\)\s*\{\s*rows\.unshift\(\s*padRow\(\s*i\s*,\s*count\s*\)\s*\);\s*\}\s*else\s*\{\s*rows\.push\(\s*padRow\(\s*i/);

You should pass count as the second argument to your padRow() call.

js
assert.match(__helpers.removeJSComments(code), /if\s*\(\s*inverted\s*\)\s*\{\s*rows\.unshift\(\s*padRow\(\s*i\s*,\s*count\s*\)\s*\);\s*\}\s*else\s*\{\s*rows\.push\(\s*padRow\(\s*i\s*,\s*count\s*\)/);

--seed--

--seed-contents--

js
const character = "#";
const count = 8;
const rows = [];
let inverted = true;

function padRow(rowNumber, rowCount) {
  return " ".repeat(rowCount - rowNumber) + character.repeat(2 * rowNumber - 1) + " ".repeat(rowCount - rowNumber);
}

// TODO: use a different type of loop
--fcc-editable-region--
for (let i = 1; i <= count; i++) {
  if (inverted) {
    rows.unshift(padRow(i, count));
  } else {

  }
}
--fcc-editable-region--

/*while (rows.length < count) {
  rows.push(padRow(rows.length + 1, count));
}*/

/*for (let i = count; i > 0; i--) {
  rows.push(padRow(i, count));
}*/

let result = ""

for (const row of rows) {
  result = result + row + "\n";
}

console.log(result);
