You'll want to be able to call your method here in your index with all 3 of your files, and your callback function as your final argument to the function.

This is heading in the correct direction. You need to figure out how to structure your function dataFils so that it can take the files you want to read, and then take a callback function as a final argument.

Cool, this is the correct pattern for handling an error if it comes up and returning it.

Good test; this should work fine when your method is working properly.

This is good, but for this test you'll want to ensure that the three files come back in the proper order. Good way to do that would be to check the values of the returning data's indices at [0], then [1], then [2].
Test is structured mostly right, though.

I think that I misunderstood the assignment and maybe tried to overcomplicated it.
