Tell us what’s happening:

My solution seems to produce the right result, but still fails the test. I could probably make it smarter in relation to test for direction, but I cannot see, why it shouldn’t pass.

Your code so far

function pyramid (character, rows, isFacingDown) {
  let returnString = "";

  if(isFacingDown) {
    for (let i=rows; i>0; i--) {
      returnString += " ".repeat(rows-i) + character.repeat(i*2-1) + "\n";
    }
  } else {
    for (let i=1; i<=rows; i++) {
      returnString += " ".repeat(rows-i) + character.repeat(i*2-1) + "\n";
    }

  }
  console.log(returnString)
  return returnString;
}
pyramid("o", 4, false)
pyramid("p", 5, true)
