# --description--
Your next function will calculate the median value of an array of numbers. Start by declaring a `median` arrow function that takes a `nums` parameter.
In the function, declare a `sorted` variable and assign it the value of sorting a copy of the `nums` array.
You should use the `slice()` method for creating a shallow copy of the array.
# --hints--
You should declare a `median` variable.
```js
assert.match(code, /(?:let|const|var)\s+median/);
```
You should use `const` to declare your `median` variable.
```js
assert.match(code, /const\s+median/);
```
Your `median` variable should be a function.
```js
assert.isFunction(median);
```
Your `median` function should use arrow syntax.
```js
assert.match(code, /const\s+median\s*=\s*\(?/);
```
Your `median` function should have a `nums` parameter.
```js
assert.match(code, /const\s+median\s*=\s*(\(\s*nums\s*\)|nums)/);
```
Your `median` function should not use an implicit return.
```js
assert.match(code, /const\s+median\s*=\s*(\(\s*nums\s*\)|nums)\s*=>\s*\{/);
```
Your `median` function should have a `sorted` variable.
```js
assert.match(code, /const\s+median\s*=\s*(\(\s*nums\s*\)|nums)\s*=>\s*\{\s*(?:let|var|const)\s+sorted/);
```
You should use `const` to declare your `sorted` variable.
```js
assert.match(code, /const\s+median\s*=\s*(\(\s*nums\s*\)|nums)\s*=>\s*\{\s*const\s+sorted/);
```
You should use `.slice()` to assign a copy of the `nums` array to `sorted`.
```js
assert.match(code, /const\s+median\s*=\s*(\(\s*nums\s*\)|nums)\s*=>\s*\{\s*const\s+sorted\s*=\s*nums\.slice\(\s*\)/);
```
You should chain the `.sort()` method to your `.slice()` method.
```js
assert.match(code, /const\s+median\s*=\s*(\(\s*nums\s*\)|nums)\s*=>\s*\{\s*const\s+sorted\s*=\s*nums\.slice\(\s*\)\.sort\(/);
```
You should pass a callback function to your `sort` method to accurately sort the numbers in ascending order. Use an implicit return for clarity.
```js
assert.match(code, /const\s+median\s*=\s*(\(\s*nums\s*\)|nums)\s*=>\s*\{\s*const\s+sorted\s*=\s*nums\.slice\(\s*\)\.sort\(\s*\(\s*a\s*,\s*b\s*\)\s*=>\s*a\s*-\s*b\s*\)\s*\s*;?\s*\}/);
```
