Does anyone know what is wrong with the following code?

My character just stands there without an error sign

menacingly

// You have one arrow. Make it count!
// This should return the enemy with the most health.
function findStrongestEnemy(enemies) {
    var strongest = null;
    var strongestHealth = 0;
    var enemyIndex = 0;
    // While enemyIndex is less than the length of enemies:
    while (enemies > enemyIndex) {
        // Set an enemy variable to enemies[enemyIndex]
        var enemy = enemies[enemyIndex];
        // If enemy.health is greater than strongestHealth
        if (enemy.health > strongestHealth) {
            // Set `strongest` to enemy
            // Set strongestHealth to enemy.health
            strongest = enemy;
            strongestHealth = enemy.health;
        }
        // Increment enemyIndex
        enemyIndex ++;
    }
    return strongest;
}

var enemies = hero.findEnemies();
var leader = findStrongestEnemy(enemies);
if (leader) {
    hero.say(leader);
}

Have a closer look at the comment:

    // While enemyIndex is less than the length of enemies:

I made the change but no dice. Any other things you might see that could be causing this?

There were actually two issues with your while statement…less than and length

Actually, I just tested with your code and the order you have the statements will work with >. Post your while statement again please.

Matters no more, as the length was the problem. Thanks!

help me pls.Code:
// You have one arrow. Make it count!

// This should return the enemy with the most health.
function findStrongestEnemy(enemies) {
var strongest = null;
var strongestHealth = 0;
var enemyIndex = 0;
var enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy();

// While enemyIndex is less than the length of enemies:
while (enemyIndex < enemies.length){
    // Set an enemy variable to enemies[enemyIndex]
    var x = enemies[enemyIndex];
    // If enemy.health is greater than strongestHealth
    if (enemy.health > strongestHealth){
        // Set `strongest` to enemy
        strongest = enemy;
        // Set strongestHealth to enemy.health
        strongestHealth = enemy.health;
    }
    // Increment enemyIndex
    enemyIndex++;
    
return strongest;

}
}
var enemies = hero.findEnemies();
var leader = findStrongestEnemy(enemies);
if (leader) {
hero.say(leader);
}
I kill the leader, but the hero will die and then say that I failed.
