Wrong question explanation -JS-core1-week3-financial-times.js- third function

[ellietms]

Hi @moneyinthesky @SallyMcGrath , in the third exercise of financial-times mandatory homework JS-core1-week3, the explanation is :

The Financial Times wants to understand what the average number of characters in an article title is.
Implement the function below to return this number - rounded to the nearest integer.

function averageNumberOfCharacters(allArticleTitles) {
// TODO
}

allArticleTitles is an array of strings, the question is asking for getting the average number of characters in an article title which means the average number of characters in each string(sum of the whole characters in each string (title) and divided them by the whole characters in the article title array). we will have different average numbers for this array of title articles for each string inside of this array.
in the end, the question is saying that there is just one number to be returned.

I think there should be more clarification for this question like the lowest or highest average or which average of title we want them to return.

Hi @ellietms, I think the question itself is ok - but maybe could be made clearer with an example?
Each article title will have a specific number of characters. So the question is asking for what the average number of characters is across all the titles in the array.
So for example, with 3 article titles - if the first title has 50 characters, the second title has 60 and the third has 100 - the average would be (50 + 60 + 100) / 3 = 70.
Does that help?
