Tell us what’s happening:

So I dont understand why the tests arent passing? When I console.log everything im getting the result that the test is asking for, which is the asterisks hiding the name except for the 0 index and the index before the ampersand. All I could think of is maybe the test wants to also have the quotations included

Your code so far

let email = "apple.pie@example.com";

function maskEmail(email){
  let star = "*";
  let emailNameSearch = email.indexOf("@");
  let maskedEmail = email.slice(1, emailNameSearch)
  let privateName = maskedEmail.replace(/./g, star);
  let reconstructedEmail = email.slice(0,1) + privateName + email.slice(emailNameSearch - 1);
  return reconstructedEmail;
}



console.log(maskEmail("apple.pie@example.com"));
console.log(maskEmail("info@test.dev"));
console.log(maskEmail("user@domain.org"));
console.log(maskEmail(email));

Welcome back to the forum @joseedominguez92

Check how many masked characters your function returns.

console.log(maskEmail(“info@test.dev”)); // i***o@test.dev

Happy coding
