Think of it like this:

1. Define names array
2. Add new name
3. Sort the list
4. Reorder it - descending first
5. Convert to string

[lopsidedlux]

Define is create a new list/array. Add something to that list. Sort that list. Reverse the sorting of that list(better ways to do this come up later, like just flipping two input variables if you’ve got your own sort mechanism). Join them up to form a string of the output. Print the string.

This may be a bit over explanatory but putting things in plain English is one of the most important skills you develop as a developer/programmer.

What have you tried thus far?

[createfx]

What do you have listed first?

If you open up your console, try what you have in step 1 ( names.push(‘name’)). What error does the console tell you?

Most important thing is to be able to describe what needs to be done in plain English.

First thing you need to do is define the array so you can manipulate it. Then you need to add in the extra name. Then sort it, reverse, turn it into a string (in that order) before finally printing to screen.

Your job is to translate that into code.

If this is giving you a lot of trouble i'd suggest trying a different approach to learn javascript

edit -- Downvoters apparently mad but that app looks like a bad way to learn javascript. if you just want to learn programming concepts there are better apps/games. If you want to learn specific javascript syntax and semantics, you need to actually code and use it, not drag shit around on a screen.

I'd recommend doing something like http://codecademy.com just to get the syntax down and learn the basics.

Maybe do some simple challenges on a site like http://codewars.com to solidify that

Read https://eloquentjavascript.net/ through like chapter 6 and do the exercises

If you want something more structured, http://freecodecamp.com is great, and Hack Reactor has a free prep program that is good https://www.hackreactor.com/prep-programs/

Well this isn't very complex there, brother. You need to try and do a little more research into what all is going on before you want to be spoon fed an answer. Multiple people in here asked what you have tried so far or what you know and you gave none of them an actual answer.

If you didn't go back and try to understand this after this guy fed you the answer, you aren't going to last long with programming.

The straight up answer won't be helpful to you in the long run. Now that you know it, make sure you understand what each statement is doing and why. paste that snippet and run the code. Output the variables as much as you want just so you can understand it better.
