Build a Teacher Chatbot - Step 17

Programming JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:

I don’t know how to the 2nd part of step 17. it isn’t clear since for me it confuses me.

Your code so far

console.log("Hi there!");

const botName = "teacherBot";

const greeting = `My name is ${botName}.`;
console.log(greeting);

const subject = "JavaScript";
const topic = "strings";

const sentence = `Today, you will learn about ${topic} in ${subject}.`;
console.log(sentence);

const strLengthIntro = `Here is an example of using the length property on the word ${subject}.`;
console.log(strLengthIntro);

console.log(subject.length);

console.log(`Here is an example of using the length property on the word ${topic}.`);
console.log(topic.length);

console.log(`Here is an example of accessing the first letter in the word ${subject}.`);

console.log(subject[0]);

console.log(`Here is an example of accessing the second letter in the word ${subject}.`);
console.log(subject[1]);

console.log(`Here is an example of accessing the last letter in the word ${subject}.`);

const lastCharacter = subject[subject.length - 1];
console.log(lastCharacter);

const learningIsFunSentence = "Learning is fun.";

console.log("Here are examples of finding the positions of substrings in the sentence.");

console.log(learningIsFunSentence.indexOf("Learning"));


// User Editable Region

console.log(learningIsFunSentence.indexOf("fun"));

// User Editable Region

you are asked to write a new line that does the same thing but with a different string

what doubts are you having?

3

because we already have one with a similar ask? why do it twice.

4

for practice, and to see what it does when it does not find the string

5

ah! Thank you so much for the explanation I guess.

still doesn’t past
``JavaScript

`console.log(“Hi there!”);

const botName = “teacherBot”;

const greeting = My name is ${botName}.;
console.log(greeting);

const subject = “JavaScript”;
const topic = “strings”;

const sentence = Today, you will learn about ${topic} in ${subject}.;
console.log(sentence);

const strLengthIntro = Here is an example of using the length property on the word ${subject}.;
console.log(strLengthIntro);

console.log(subject.length);

console.log(Here is an example of using the length property on the word ${topic}.);
console.log(topic.length);

console.log(Here is an example of accessing the first letter in the word ${subject}.);

console.log(subject[0]);

console.log(Here is an example of accessing the second letter in the word ${subject}.);
console.log(subject[1]);

console.log(Here is an example of accessing the last letter in the word ${subject}.);

const lastCharacter = subject[subject.length - 1];
console.log(lastCharacter);

const learningIsFunSentence = “Learning is fun.”;

console.log(“Here are examples of finding the positions of substrings in the sentence.”);

console.log(learningIsFunSentence.indexOf(“Learning”));

console.log(learningIsFunSentence.indexOf(“fun”));
console.log(learningIsFunSentence.indexOf(“Learning”));`

Hi @christinewho2

Your second console statement should output the index position of the substring "learning" from the learningIsFunSentence variable.

Check the casing:

Happy coding

8

oh like I need to had a number. I said it like that so I don’t show the answer.

9

I still don’t get it.
Instruction should be made clearer or not repetitive.
And I don’t undestand how to do it to show that in particular. I’m a visual person so just telling me won’t work.

10

didn’t see it was asking of minuscule.

Hi @christinewho2

JavaScript is case sensitive.

In the background letters are converted to binary, so upper and lower case characters look very different to a computer.

Happy coding
