# --description--

When the shuffle button is pressed, you want to set the `currentSong` to nothing and the `songCurrentTime` to `0`.

Set `userData.currentSong` to `null` and `userData.songCurrentTime` to `0`.

*Note*: You should not use optional chaining for this step because you are explicitly setting the `currentSong` and `songCurrentTime` properties to be `null` and `0` respectively.

# --hints--

You should set `userData.currentSong` to `null`.

```js
assert.match(code, /userData\.currentSong\s*=\s*null\s*;?/)
```

You should set `userData.songCurrentTime` to `0`.

```js
assert.match(code, /userData\.songCurrentTime\s*=\s*0\s*;?/)
```
