Your new code here is right, but it never runs. Try it: right click the 1-key-errors folder in VS Code, choose Open in Integrated Terminal, and run node 0.js. You'll see the SyntaxError from line 8. The original code on lines 7 to 11 still runs first, and JavaScript stops at the first error.

Select lines 7 to 11 and press Ctrl + / (Cmd + / on a Mac) to turn them into comments. Run node 0.js again and you should see Beautiful.

Do the same in 1.js for lines 9 to 16.

After you comment out the original code, this line prints 0.5. That's the number going in, not the answer. The function's job is to turn 0.5 into 50%, so log what the function gives back: console.log(convertToPercentage(...)), with your number inside the brackets. You should see 50%.

I think you're confused between the function identifiers, parameters and arguments.

please review the following and update the explanation.

That's right now, and the fix on line 23 too. Well done for sticking with this one.

// Whats the difference between function identifier and parameter?
// The parameter of a function must be name not number. So Parsing number 3 into the parameter would throw an error.
// Changing number 3 to 'num' as a placeholder fixes the error

// Finally, correct the code to fix the problem

pleaser review the formula for calculating the BMI in the description above again.

Your function needs the height, not the height squared. Line 7 shows the person is 1.73 m tall; 2.99 is what you get after squaring it. Your function already does the squaring on line 24, so pass 1.73. calculateBMI(70, 1.73) should print 23.4, the same as line 9. Checking against the example you were given is a good habit.

console.log(`the bmi of 90 and 1.96 is ${calculateBMI(90, 1.96)}`);

Your answer 01 is right, only the last word needs fixing. On the last call numString is "1", which has length 1, so the loop runs once and "0" + "1" gives "01". So numString becomes "01", not 1.
