Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far


function rot13(str) { // LBH QVQ VG!
  var newStr = str.split("");
  var decoder = [];
  var alphabet = ["A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R", "S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z","A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M"];
  for(var i=0; i<newStr.length; i++){
      if(alphabet.indexOf(newStr[i])===-1){
        decoder.push(newStr[i]);
      }else{
        for(var j =0; j<alphabet.length; j++){
          if(newStr[i]===alphabet[j]){
           decoder.push(newStr[j+13]);
        }}
      }
  }
  return decoder.join("");
}

// Change the inputs below to test
rot13("SERR PBQR PNZC");

Hi @nchamoli

Next time, remember to describe your problem!

I’ve had a look and I suspect where you’ve done this: decoder.push(newStr[j+13]); you actually wanted to do this: decoder.push(alphabet[j+13]);
