Tell us what’s happening:

I can’t figure out steps 3 and 4, Not understanding how to achieve the desired result, any assistance wii be appreciated.

Your code so far

function pyramid(str, count, bool){ 
  const rows = [];
let results = "";
  if (bool === false){
  for (let i = 1; i <= count; i++){
rows.push(" ".repeat(count - i) + str.repeat((i*2 -1) ) + " ".repeat(count - i))
}} else {
   for (let i = 1; i <= count; i++){
rows.unshift(" ".repeat(count - i) + str.repeat((2 * i) -1 ) + " ".repeat(count - i));
} }
for (const row of rows){
  results  += row+ '\n';
  }
  return results;
}
let test = pyramid("o", 4, false);
console.log(test);
test = pyramid("p",5,true)
console.log(test)
console.log(JSON .stringify(pyramid("o",4,false)))
console.log('\n')
console.log(JSON.stringify(pyramid("p",5,true)))

//console.log('\n``')
//console.log(JSON.stringify("\n   o\n  ooo\n ooooo\nooooooo\n"));
//console.log('\n``')
//console.log(JSON.stringify("\nppppppppp\n ppppppp\n  ppppp\n   ppp\n    p\n"));

Take a closer look at the difference between returned string and what’s expected. For example, pyramid("o", 4, false):

"   o   \n  ooo  \n ooooo \nooooooo\n" // returned
"\n   o\n  ooo\n ooooo\nooooooo\n"     // expected

Ok so how can i achieve the string result without messing up the actual pyramid(s)

4

Well, the individual lines that are currently composing the resulting pyramid, need to be modified, to match with what is expected.

I don’t see how i can add a “\n” and not disrupt the pyramid.

  1. You need to initialize the variable “results” like : let results = "\n";
  2. Don’t need to append any spaces at the end (line 6 and 9).
