Basic Algorithm Scripting - Mutations

Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
I was able to pass all of the tests except the very first one. I don’t know what makes the first test differ from all of the rest. I made the first array and the second array both lower case.

   **Your code so far**

function mutation(arr) {
 let firstArr = arr[0].toLowerCase();
 let secondArr = arr[1].toLowerCase();
for (let i=0; i< secondArr.length; i++){

if  (firstArr.indexOf(secondArr[i]) === -1){
return false;

}else{
 return true
}
}
}

mutation(["hello", "hey"]);

The mistake you did, it haunts me like all the time)

Double-check your if…else logic

WHEN you wanna return true? You are doing it inside the loop now

I just KNEW it was something simple like this! Thanks a bunch!

I don’t know if it is simple, for me logic errors are the most terrifying :upside_down_face:
