Build a Missing Letter Detector - Build a Missing Letter Detector

Tell us what’s happening:

I can get the missing letters but accessing only the letters that are contained in str is proving to be quite difficult. I’ve tried nesting an if statement which I’m trying to create a separate variable missingLetter, only if the first statement is true.

Once I can isolate the letters inside strI think I’ve got it. Thanks for any help :slight_smile:

Your code so far

const fearNotLetter = (str) => {
  const range = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
  let output = "";
  let missingLetter = "";
  for (let i = 0; i < range.length; i++) {
    if (!str.includes(range[i])) {
      output += range[i]
      if (output.includes(str)) {
        output += missingLetter;
      }
    } else {
      console.log("apple");
    }
  }
  return missingLetter;
}

console.log(fearNotLetter("bcdfg"))

consider if you can do something with range and str to start at a later point of the alphabet

or have you learned about ASCII codes? that is an other thing you can think about
