Bug in studentMsg test – output is correct but test fails

JavaScript
1

Hi,

I’m working on the “Build a Gradebook App” JavaScript challenge. I completed the studentMsg function with correct logic and formatting, but the test still fails.

Expected string:
“Class average: 71.7. Your grade: F. You failed the course.”

My function returns exactly that. I used .toFixed(1) and string concatenation as instructed. I also removed console.log and extra newlines.

Here’s my full code:

function getAverage(scores) {
  let sum = 0;
  for (const score of scores) {
    sum += score;
  }
  return sum / scores.length;
}

function getGrade(score) {
  if (score === 100) return "A++";
  else if (score >= 90) return "A";
  else if (score >= 80) return "B";
  else if (score >= 70) return "C";
  else if (score >= 60) return "D";
  else return "F";
}

function hasPassingGrade(score) {
  return getGrade(score) !== "F";
}

function studentMsg(totalScores, studentScore) {
  const average = getAverage(totalScores).toFixed(1);
  const grade = getGrade(studentScore);
  if (hasPassingGrade(studentScore)) {
    return "Class average: " + average + ". Your grade: " + grade + ". You passed the course.";
  } else {
    return "Class average: " + average + ". Your grade: " + grade + ". You failed the course.";
  }
}

Actually there isn’t any requirement regarding rounding of the average.

there isn’t an instruction to round, that is againg the requirements even. There will be soon an update to make that clearer
