I have made all their requirements but they still don’t pass my code

You have met none of the requirements.

For example, truncateString("A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket", 8) should return the string "A-tisket..." but your function returns the following:
"A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket...."
