# --description--
Add an `else` clause that assigns the number `0` to the player's `x` velocity.
# --hints--
You should add an `else` statement to your `animate` function.
```js
assert.match(animate.toString(), /else/);
```
Your `else` statement should come after your `if` statement.
```js
const player = new Player();
const split = animate.toString().split(/\s|\n/);
assert.isAbove(split.indexOf('else'), split.indexOf('if'));
```
You should include an `else` clause that assigns the number `0` to the player's `x` velocity.
```js
assert.match(animate.toString(), /player\.velocity\.x\s*=\s*0\s*;?/);
```
