Tell us what’s happening:

I know I should do something with the repeat() methode. but I dont know how tot use it cause you can only put a number in repeat(0) to make it work (that’s how I understood it). But how much it needs to repeat depends on the email. So an someone give me a tip on how to continue, I have the feeling im almost there so i want make it right!

Your code so far

 function maskEmail(emailing) {
  let emailIndex = emailing.indexOf("@");
  let sliceBefore = emailing.slice(1, emailIndex -1);
  let replaceEmail = emailing.replace(sliceBefore, "*")
  
  return replaceEmail
}

let emailing = maskEmail
console.log(maskEmail("apple.pie@example.com"))

Check these MDN repeat() examples to see how to use that method:

String.prototype.repeat() - JavaScript | MDN

Also, are you sure emailing is the parameter name that should be defined in maskEmail()?

Good luck!
