Hello @CatSmith1 ,
Well done on submitting your first piece of JS coursework.
My main piece of advice is around variable names and declarations - I've left a few comments for you to think about.
Good job!

You've used a as a parameter name here. But this doesn't offer insight into what the parameter represents. Remember your code is designed to be read by others so always try to convey meaning when you choose variable names - sometimes this can be tricky!

When declaring your variables, you've ommitted the let/const keyword. This will still work but for reasons you'll learn about later this is bad practice ( you'll almost always declare variables with let/const )
