Tell us what’s happening:

How so i detect a sentence full of spaces? This seems to skip every 2nd index?

Your code so far

function getWordCount(sentence){

 let wordCount = sentence.split(" ")

for (let char in wordCount){
  if (wordCount[char]== ''){
    wordCount.splice([char], 1)
  }
}
 return wordCount.length

}

console.log(getWordCount("   a"))

I have found a way.

removed by moderator

Just added a variable to contain the amount of spaces in the sentence and subtracted it out,of the length of the sentence.

it’s a bad idea to iterate over the array and change it while you are iterating, please consider never doing this again
