Tell us what’s happening:

I dont know why it isn’t working though it gives the word count

Your code so far

function getVowelCount(sentence) {
  const vowels = "aeiou";
  let count = 0;

  for (const char of sentence.toLowerCase()) {
    if (vowels.includes(char)) {
      count++;
    }
  }
  return count;
}

const vowelCount = getVowelCount("Apples are tasty fruits");
console.log(`Vowel Count: ${vowelCount}`);

function getConsonantCount(sentence) {
  const consonants = "bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyz";
  let count = 0;

  for (const char of sentence.toLowerCase()) {
    if (consonants.includes(char)) {
      count++;
    }
  }
  return count;
}

const consonantCount = getConsonantCount("Coding is fun");
console.log(`Consonant Count: ${consonantCount}`);

function getPunctuationCount(sentence) {
  const punctuations = ".,!?;:-()[]{}\"'–";
  let count = 0;

  for (const char of sentence) {
    if (punctuations.includes(char)) {
      count++;
    }
  }
  return count;
}

const punctuationCount = getPunctuationCount("WHAT?!?!?!?!?");
console.log(`Punctuation Count: ${punctuationCount}`);

// User Editable Region
function wordCounter(sentence) {
  let count = 0;
  let spaces = sentence.trim().split(" ");

  for (let a = 0; a < spaces.length; a++) {
    if(spaces !== '')
    {
    count++;
    }
  }
  return count;
}

Hi @verver,

count the number of words by creating a getWordCount function with a sentence parameter

Have you implemented the above instruction as asked?

Add a log inside your function so you can see what it’s doing: console.log("spaces",spaces)

And test what your function returns by calling it: console.log("Word Count:", getWordCount(""))

Happy coding
