It is trivial. I just told you what to remove, and tracebacks will inform you of the ordering.

I would advise the ‘newbie’ you speak of to learn how to read a basic error message and how to use the backspace key before tackling d3!

(For reference, just this week an intern on my team needed some d3 boilerplate for a fairly complicated plot. I wrote it for her in observable, with some guidelines on where to go next. She finished what was needed and cr’d directly to our codebase - at no point did either of us worry about the supposed difficult translation between observable and a js file.)
