constructor error

[Joseph Burdeos]

hello. here is my jasmine test. 

describe("variable a", function () {

    var a;

    it("says hello", function () {

        a = "Hello";

        expect(a.toBe("Hello"));

    });

});

i ran this and i get the following error:

     Message: TypeError: undefined is not a constructor (evaluating 'a.toBe("Hello")')

i checked the output pane and saw this:

Error: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $

Looks like you have a paren `)` in the wrong place. Your expect line should read `expect(a).toBe("Hello");` The matchers are called on the result of `expect` not inside it.

Hope this helps. Thanks for using Jasmine!
