Tell us what’s happening:

All of my results in the console are correct but I can’t ace the test.. my code is below

Your code so far

function titleCase (phrase) {
let normPhrase = phrase.toLowerCase()
let newPhrase = normPhrase.split(" ")
let result = ""

for (let firstChar of newPhrase){
result += firstChar[0].toUpperCase()
result += firstChar.slice(1)
result += " "
  }

return result

}


console.log(titleCase("I'm a little tea pot"))

Try this test case:

console.log("***" + titleCase("I'm a little tea pot") + "***")
3

Huh? It’s the same result with extra characters added to both ends…

4

Yes. Please run that line of code and tell me what you see.

5

Here goes one of the error messages…

"titleCase("I'm a little tea pot") should return the string I'm A Little Tea Pot"

and here is my result in the console

>>>> I'm A Little Tea Pot

You did not run the line of code I gave you. Please run the line of code I gave you. I have a very good reason for writing that line. It will show you something important.

7

Do you want me to run the test after running that line and post the error message here?

9

Just run that line of code I gave you and tell me what the output in the console is.

@protusga9 please do not interrupt to just blurt out the solution

***I'm A Little Tea Pot ***

Bingo. Now, does the number and location of spaces in your output exactly match the required output for the tests?

13

Ahh ok I see it’s a spacing issue

Exactly. That little trick of adding "***" (or something like that) makes it easier to spot those sort of ‘invisible’ issues with spaces on the end of the line.

Sorry was just showing him a method to remove the extra space after explaining that it is because of the space. But I get you, my bad.
