--- id: 6352ec8b9c70fd17b8c7ba3f title: Step 38 challengeType: 0 dashedName: step-38 --- # --description-- Now you need to sort the values properly. Chain the `.sort()` method to your `Object.keys()` call. For the callback, you'll need to use the `counts` object to compare the values of each key. You can use the `a` and `b` parameters to access the keys. Then, return the value of `counts[b]` minus the value of `counts[a]`. Finally, access the first element in the array using bracket notation to complete your `highest` variable. # --hints-- Your `getMode` function should use the `sort` method to sort the `Object.keys()` array. ```js assert.match(getMode.toString(), /highest\s*=\s*Object\.keys\(\s*counts\s*\)\.sort\(/) ``` Your `getMode` function should pass a callback to the `sort` method with parameters `a` and `b`. ```js assert.match(getMode.toString(), /highest\s*=\s*Object\.keys\(\s*counts\s*\)\.sort\(\s*function\s*\(\s*a\s*,\s*b\s*\)/) ``` Your `getMode` function should use the `sort` method to sort the `Object.keys()` array and return the value of `counts[b]` minus the value of `counts[a]`. ```js assert.match(getMode.toString(), /highest\s*=\s*Object\.keys\(\s*counts\s*\)\.sort\(\s*function\s*\(\s*a\s*,\s*b\s*\)\s*\{\s*return\s+counts\s*\[\s*b\s*\]\s*-\s*counts\s*\[\s*a\s*\]\s*;?\s*\}\s*\)/) ``` Your `highest` variable should have the value of the first entry in the sorted `Object.keys(counts)` array. ```js assert.match(getMode.toString(), /highest\s*=\s*Object\.keys\(\s*counts\s*\)\.sort\(\s*function\s*\(\s*a\s*,\s*b\s*\)\s*\{\s*return\s+counts\s*\[\s*b\s*\]\s*-\s*counts\s*\[\s*a\s*\]\s*;?\s*\}\s*\)\s*\[\s*0\s*\]\s*;/) ``` # --seed-- ## --seed-contents-- ```html
Enter a list of comma-separated numbers.
The mean of a list of numbers is the average, calculated by taking the sum of all numbers and dividing that by the count of numbers.
Mean:
The median of a list of numbers is the number that appears in the middle of the list, when sorted from least to greatest.
Median:
The mode of a list of numbers is the number that appears most often in the list.
Mode:
The range of a list of numbers is the difference between the largest and smallest numbers in the list.
Range:
The variance of a list of numbers measures how far the values are from the mean, on average.
Variance:
The standard deviation of a list of numbers is the square root of the variance.
