Tell us what’s happening:

I think my program works correctly (Build an Email Masker), but it didn’t pass the test when I submitted it . It keeps on throwing the test 7 stating that Your maskEmail should produce the correct result even after the rest of the tests passes.

Your code so far

function maskEmail(email){
  let maskedEmail = email.slice(1, -13)
  let maskedNumber = "*";
  let maskedLength = maskedEmail.length;
  let repeatedValue = maskedNumber.repeat(maskedLength)
  
  let latestemail = email.replace(maskedEmail , repeatedValue)
  console.log(latestemail);
  return latestemail;
  }


let email;
email = "ekomjahedet@example.com";
console.log(maskEmail(email));
maskEmail("freecodecamp@example.com")

try checking what maskEmail("freecodecamp@xam.com") return

3

It returns this: f******ecamp@xam.com

4

and is that correct?

5

No. I was of the opinion that since all the tests required was an email with the domain @example.com, that it what the maskemail should also work with

6

you are failing the one that does not show the email it is testing, so try making it work with any email length

7

But which string method could work for that

8

slice can still be useful, but you need to approch this in a slightly different way

you can also not use string methods at all, there are many ways to solve this

9

Ok. Let me try the slice approach

I tried this now and it works. Thanks!
