Blanking on Word Blanks

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:



**Your code so far**

function wordBlanks(myNoun, myAdjective, myVerb, myAdverb) {
var result = “”;
// Your code below this line
var a = "My ";
var b = "and furry ";
var c = "to the store ";
result = “a” + “myAdjective” + “b” + “myNoun” + “myVerb” + “c” + “myAdverb”;

I get the word blanks forming the string. I don't get these two results:
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 am finding a lot of these challenges poorly worded and confusing, and would have no idea to use "return result"; as indicated in the forum. Also, I don't know why the other word blanks like cat and little are there for testing, nor where they should go in the exercise. I really want to learn to code and to stick with FreeCodeCamp vs. CodeAcademy. However, the people who create the challenges really need to be a lot more clear, so I don't know how to get that feedback to the right people.  As for the challenge itself, any help would be appreciated.

  // Your code above this line
  return result;
}

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

There is no blank space in between the words. It should be like this.

result = “a” + " " + “myAdjective” + " " + “b” + " " + “myNoun” + " " + “myVerb” + " " + “c” + " " + “myAdverb”;
3 
result = “a” + " " + “myAdjective” + " " + “b” + " " + “myNoun” + " " + “myVerb” + " " + “c” + " " + “myAdverb”;
[/quote]```

I don't know what the other " " + should do because I got an error that said unexpected '"" "' so it seems it is not expecting the other quotes.

Sorry for overlooking the quotes that you are using around variables. Variables shouldn’t be placed inside the quotes.
It will work fine.

result = a + myAdjective + " " + b + myNoun + " " + myVerb + " " + c + myAdverb + ".";

Thanks @mpsinghk! I found a video here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s82vXQd4rZY

``I managed to simplify the words and remove some variables and the code worked.

This should be the actual code

`result = a + " " +  myAdjective + " " + b + " "  +  myNoun + " " + myVerb + " " + c  " " +  myAdverb;
