Add Word Blanks Using JavaScript

JavaScript
1

In this challenge, we provide you with a noun, a verb, an adjective and an adverb. You need to form a complete sentence using words of your choice, along with the words we provide.

You will need to use the string concatenation operator + to build a new string, using the provided variables: myNoun, myAdjective, myVerb, and myAdverb. You will then assign the formed string to the result variable.

this is what they provide:
function wordBlanks(myNoun, myAdjective, myVerb, myAdverb) {
// Your code below this line
var result = “”;

// Your code above this line
return result;
}

// Change the words here to test your function
wordBlanks(“dog”, “big”, “ran”, “quickly”);

This is what criteria i need to meet:
wordBlanks("","","","") should return a string.
wordBlanks(“dog”, “big”, “ran”, “quickly”) should contain all of the passed in words separated by non-word characters (and any additional words in your madlib).
wordBlanks(“cat”, “little”, “hit”, “slowly”) should contain all of the passed in words separated by non-word characters (and any additional words in your madlib).

I tried doing what they previously taught me, but it didnt work, please help

I did this:
var result = “The " + " myAdjective” + " myNoun" + " myVerb" + " myAdverb" + " to me.";
Which did not work and I did this:
var myNoun = “dog”;
var myAdjective = “big”;
var myVerb = “ran”;
var myAdverb = “quickly”;
var result = “The " + " myAdjective” + " myNoun" + " myVerb" + " myAdverb" + " to me.";

Thank you, I got that sentence worked out, I just needed to remove the quotes. The other aspect is also really confusing. Is it also telling me to do something with these words?
wordBlanks(“cat”, “little”, “hit”, “slowly”) should contain all of the passed in words separated by non-word characters (and any additional words in your madlib).

Tell us what’s happening:
I cannot figure out the second part of this.

Your code so far
var myNoun = "dog ";
var myAdjective = "big ";
var myVerb = "ran ";
var myAdverb = "quickly ";
var result = "The " + myAdjective + myNoun + myVerb + myAdverb + “to me.”;
This is correct for the first part
the second part is
wordBlanks(“cat”, “little”, “hit”, “slowly”) should contain all of the passed in words separated by non-word characters (and any additional words in your madlib).
This is what I am given
// Change the words here to test your function
wordBlanks(“cat”, “little”, “hit”, “slowly”);


function wordBlanks(myNoun, myAdjective, myVerb, myAdverb) {
  // Your code below this line
  var myNoun = "dog ";
  var myAdjective = "big ";
  var myVerb = "ran ";
 var myAdverb = "quickly ";
  var result = "The " + myAdjective + myNoun + myVerb + myAdverb + "to me.";

  // Your code above this line
  return result;
}

// Change the words here to test your function
 wordBlanks("cat", "little", "hit", "slowly");

You’re not supposed to make these variables, as they will override the input to the wordBlanks function. So regardless of your input, it will always output 'The big dog ran quickly to me.'

Hi Sarah1…did you ever find a solution for the 2nd part? I have the same problem. It works with dog, big, ran and quickly, but I don’t know how to do the second part with cat, little, hit and slowly. Please help :disappointed_relieved:

What is your code? Just use the parameters of the function without changing them, the last poster before you said it correctly

But if you can’t solve it with this, use the “Ask for help” button inside the challenge to create your own post
