Tell us what’s happening:

Got it to pass all but one. It returns true because the n in “specification” and the n in “frozen” both end in n, so it goes to true. I’m not sure what to do next to verify that.

Your code so far

function confirmEnding(string,stringCheck){
  
  //gives the index number of last index of stringCheck within string
   const stringLastOccurenceStartsWith = string.lastIndexOf(stringCheck)
  
  
  //using these to do the checks 
  //gives the first letter of the first occurrence of stringCheck
  const lastStartsWith = string[stringLastOccurenceStartsWith]
  console.log("Last Occurence of stringCheck in String: " + lastStartsWith)

  //gives the first letter in stringCheck
  const stringCheckStartsWith = stringCheck[0]
  console.log("First letter in stringCheck: " + stringCheckStartsWith)

  //give the last letter in the string
  const stringEndsWith = string.slice(string.length-1)
  console.log("Last Letter in String(should): " +stringEndsWith)

  //gives the last letter in stringCheck
  const stringCheckEndsWith = stringCheck.slice(stringCheck.length-1)
  console.log("Last letter in stringCheck: " + stringCheckEndsWith)

  //maybe need to checking half the word


  if(lastStartsWith === stringCheckStartsWith && stringEndsWith === stringCheckEndsWith){
    console.log("true")
    return true;
  }else {
    console.log("false")
    return false
  }
}

confirmEnding("Connor", "n")

confirmEnding("Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen", "specification")

Refactor to check that the end of string is the entire stringCheck.

hi @pak2601

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.
