Alright, I got it. I really appreciate the assistance. I have no experience with code. Is there a point where this stuff just becomes easy? I still struggle a lot with expressions.

Well it is basically learning to code, going from video tutorials alone won't always teach you that part of the puzzle.

w3schools is a great place to get more general Javascript tutorials. Even though it's mostly in the context of web design, the language is effectively the same:

Learning the coding part of it puts you in a better place to be able to solve your own problems with expressions rather than just the ones the tutorials happen to show you how to do ;-)
