Binary Agents what am I missing?

[Josep]

Tell us what’s happening:
The message is printed out and is a type of string but it does not pass.
Also when I tested to see if my result and the target result were the same, I got a false.

Your code so far

function binaryAgent(str) {
let split = str.split(' ')
let result = ''

for(let i= 0; i < str.length; i++){
  result += String.fromCharCode(parseInt(split[i],2))
}
return result
}

let test = binaryAgent("01001001 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 00100000 01000110 01110010 01100101 01100101 01000011 01101111 01100100 01100101 01000011 01100001 01101101 01110000 00100001");

console.log(test)
console.log("I love FreeCodeCamp!")
console.log("I love FreeCodeCamp!" === test)

you may want to check your loop

your result is

'I love FreeCodeCamp!\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000'

and you get \u0000 when passing an invalid value to fromCharCode

[Josep]

THAT’S IT! thankyou, how did you get the extra \u0000 to display?

[ilenia]

I usually use the object literal shorthand to see what is being printed, in this case I used console.log({str, result}) just above the return statement and then run the tests

[Josep]

thanks a lot, that will be very useful
