JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:

Hello Coders,
I am having a problem related to the Build a Quiz Game in the getResults part. The result itself matches the requirements, but i cannot pass this step in the test. I have tried many ways how to solve it, but seems that i cannot find the bug. I do not understand if it is related to a mismatching of the results data types or there is a problem in the getRandomComputerChoice or or or. Any help is appreciated.

Your code so far

const questions = [ 
  {
    category: "Programming",
    question: "Which of the following is a compiled programming language?",
    choices: ["Phyton", "Java", "HTML"],
     answer: "Java"
  },
   {
    category: "Programming",
    question: "Which keyword is used to define a function in JavaScript?",
    choices: ["func", "function", "dev"],
     answer: "function"
  },
  {
    category: "Computer",
    question: "In binary, what is the value of 1011 in decimal?",
    choices: ["11", "13", "15"],
     answer: "11"
  },
  {
    category: "Computer",
    question: "Which part of the computer is considered the “brain”?",
    choices: ["hard-drive", "CPU", "RAM"],
     answer: "CPU"
  },
  {
    category: "Computer",
    question: "What does the acronym “HTTP” stand for?",
    choices: ["HyperText Transfer Protocol", "High Transmission Text Program", "Hyperlink Transfer Process"],
     answer: "HyperText Transfer Protocol"
  },
];

const getRandomQuestion = (questions) => {
  let randomQ = Math.floor(Math.random() * questions.length);
 return questions[randomQ];
}

const question = getRandomQuestion(questions);

const getRandomComputerChoice = (choices) => {
  let randomN = Math.floor(Math.random() * choices.length);
return choices[randomN];
};

const choice = getRandomComputerChoice(question.choices);

const getResults = (question, choice) => {
  if(choice === question.answer){
    return `The computer's choice is correct!`;
    } else {
    return `The computer's choice is wrong. The correct answer is: ${question.answer}.`;
  };
}

console.log(question);
console.log(choice);
console.log(getResults(question, choice));

there is a one character difference between this and the expected value

The computer's choice is wrong. The correct answer is: <correct-answer>

can you see it?

ILM thank you for your answer.

Are you suggesting me to insert in the answer the <> around the ${question.answer}?

4 
console.log("************");
console.log("expected: ",`The computer's choice is wrong. The correct answer is: ${question.answer}`);
console.log("actual:   ", getResults(question, choice));

Try adding this to the bottom of your script.

Now do you see it?

no, that’s not the difference I mean, the <> are part of the placeholder and should not be in the result string
