Tell us what’s happening:

So I know I went a difficult route of doing this but what am I missing to pass? I feel like my answers should pass but they don’t.

Your code so far


let email = `removed by moderator`


function maskEmail(email){

  let start = email.indexOf(0)
  let end = email.indexOf("@") -1
  let hide = email.replace(email.slice(1, email.indexOf("@")-1), "*".repeat(end - start - 2))
  
  
  
  

  
  
  return console.log(hide)
}


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

What do user stories #2 and #3 say about how the email variable should be used?

Are you logging your function calls?

When you do this, your function returns undefined. To see what your function returns in the console, wrap your function calls in console.log().

Yeah, because I was returning the console log instead of the email itself, it wouldn’t give me the pass. After I changed it, I passed. Thank you for the idea, appreciate it.
