Tell us what’s happening:

I’m sure I could clean up my code a lot, but my testing shows the code returning the correct string. I’m not sure why It’s failing the 3rd and 4th tests.

Your code so far

const pyramid = (char,rows,isUp) => {
  let pyramidStr = ``;
  if(!isUp){
    let spaces = ``;
    let charLine = ``;
    for(let i = 1; i <= rows;i++){
      if(i === 1){
        charLine = charLine + char;
        for( let j = 1; j < rows ;j++ ){
          spaces = spaces + ` `;
        }
      }
      else{
        charLine = charLine + char + char;
        spaces = spaces.slice(0,-1)
      }
      let newLine = spaces + charLine + `\n`;
      pyramidStr = pyramidStr + newLine
    }
    return pyramidStr
  }
  if(isUp){
    let spaces = ``;
    let charLine = char;
    for(let i = 1; i <= rows -1; i++){
      charLine = charLine + char + char;
      }
      for(let i = 1; i <= rows; i++){
        if(i === 1){
          pyramidStr = pyramidStr + charLine + `\n`;
        }
        else{
          spaces = spaces + ` `;
          charLine = charLine.slice(0,-2);
          let newLine = spaces + charLine + `\n`;
          pyramidStr = pyramidStr + newLine;

        }
      }
    return pyramidStr
  }
}
console.log(pyramid('o',4,false))

Welcome to the forum @itsBuggs !

Try testing like this to compare what your code returns to what is expected:

  console.log("Actual:   ", JSON.stringify(pyramid("o", 4, false)));
  console.log("Expected: ", JSON.stringify("\n   o\n  ooo\n ooooo\nooooooo\n"));
  console.log("Actual:   ", JSON.stringify(pyramid("p", 5, true)));
  console.log("Expected: ", JSON.stringify("\nppppppppp\n ppppppp\n  ppppp\n   ppp\n    p\n"));

Happy coding!
