Your code so far

  name: 'Kenneth',
  age: 28,
  data: {
    username: 'kennethCodesAllDay',
    joinDate: 'March 26, 2016',
    organization: 'freeCodeCamp',
    friends: [
      'Sam',
      'Kira',
      'Tomo'
    ],
    location: {
      city: 'San Francisco',
      state: 'CA',
      country: 'USA'
    }
  }
};

function addFriend(userObj, friend) {
  // change code below this line
  let userFriend = userObj.data.friends + ',' +  friend;
  return userFriend; 
  // change code above this line

Hi,

You kind of have the right idea, but you are treating friends (user.data.friends) as a string rather than an array.

What you need to do is push the new friend onto the end of the array.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

(Hint: is there an array method called push?)
