**Tell us what’s happening:**  
My code is working fine. When i submit in freecode camp i am unable to submit it. I am getting below error.

titleCase(“I’m a little tea pot”) should return “I’m A Little Tea Pot”.  
titleCase(“sHoRt AnD sToUt”) should return “Short And Stout”.  
titleCase(“HERE IS MY HANDLE HERE IS MY SPOUT”) should return “Here Is My Handle Here Is My Spout”

**Your code so far**

````auto

    var newstr=str.split(" ");
    var temp=" ";
    for (var i=0; i<newstr.length; i++) {
     temp=temp +" "+ newstr[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase() + newstr[i].slice(1).toLowerCase();
    }

    return temp;

}

console.log(titleCase("sHoRt AnD sToUt"));```

It looks like you probably have leading spaces at the start of your string.
