urlSlug(" Winter Is Coming")
there are two spaces between is and coming , so your code actually returns this
result → winter-is–(double hyphen)coming

If you console log what you are returning you will realize that one of you winter is coming is being returned like this: winter-is--coming. Its because it had 2 spaces between 'is ’ and ‘coming’

When you enter a code block into a forum post, precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).

No, I have checked. It returns ‘winter-is-coming’ with single hyphen between all words.

If you copy/paste the log into your code, you’ll see the double hyphen:

                   There's TWO spaces here:
                               ||
                               ||
                               ||
                               vv
console.log(urlSlug(" Winter Is  Coming"))
