Here’s the full code.

`snakeArr.unshift({ x: snakeArr[0].x + inputDir.x, y: snakeArr[0].y + inputDir.y })`

This is the code to increase the size of snake once it collides with food.

The code above it is working.

`foodSound.play();`

Similarly, the code below it is working

```auto
//change food location

let a = 2; b = 16;
food = { x: Math.round(a + (b - a) * Math.random()), y: Math.round(a + (b - a) * Math.random()) }

```

What went wrong? Please help me fix the issue. There are no errors in console.
