ES6 'Mutate an Array Declared with Const' shows lowercasse not uppercase const names

[leebut]

I am on the challenge, Mutate an Array declared with Const

On the previous challenge, we are informed us to use uppercase to declare const variables, but this challenge seems to use lowercase 's', both in the examples and the code editor.

See previous discussion: #19037

Okay, thank you.
Perhaps all of that should be explained in the challenge rather than the code appearing as a contradiction in conventions.

@ezioda004 unless I'm missing something the link you shared explained why @leebut issue is valid. @leebut are you interested in submitting a PR to modify the variable name? Perhaps we can make the example a little more interesting by making it a real-life example.

[ezioda004]

@cmccormack The convention is to use lowercase for non-primitive values. The challenge is following the correct convention since array is a non-primitive value hence the lowercase use.
A note regarding (uppercase/lowercase with const) would be sufficient.

Agree with @ezioda004 here, muting objects shouldn't be uppercase as it would confuse the third party to think of it as an unchangeable variable but in reality here we do change s in the sense that we mutate it.
So the use of const here just remains to prevent re-assignment of s and so lowercase can prevail.
We could add a few extra lines in the challenge description to make it more clear.
