--description--

Outside the else block, add a comment saying display our progress and print the content of the lists to check that everything is working.

--hints--

You should use the provided text to add a comment outside the else block.

js
({ test: () => assert.match(code, /rods\s*\[\s*source\s*\]\s*\.append\s*\(\s*rods\s*\[\s*target\s*\]\s*\.pop\s*\(\s*\)\s*\)\s+#\s*display\sour\sprogress/) })

You should print the rods object outside the else block, after the comment.

js
({ test: () => assert.match(code, /rods\s*\[\s*source\s*\]\s*\.append\s*\(\s*rods\s*\[\s*target\s*\]\s*\.pop\s*\(\s*\)\s*\)\s+#\s*display\sour\sprogress\s+print\s*\(\s*rods\s*\)/) })
