Ceaser's Cipher Challenge Stuck

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:
Hello, I’m working on Ceaser’s Cipher challenge for FCC and I have most the code down so far. The code is properly decoding the strings, however, I am having difficulty figuring out how to put the sentence together properly. For EX: my code prints FREECODECAMP for SERR PBQR PNZC and FORPIZZA for SERR CVMMN!. I am stuck as to how I can separate this properly with spaces in between the words and how to still include the proper punctuation at the end.

  **Your code so far**


function rot13(str) {
//Key of Ceasers Cipher placed into an Object format
var code = {
  A : "N",
  B : "O", 
  C : "P", 
  D : "Q",
  E : "R", 
  F : "S", 
  G : "T", 
  H : "U", 
  I : "V", 
  J : "W", 
  K : "X", 
  L : "Y", 
  M : "Z", 
  N : "A", 
  O : "B", 
  P : "C", 
  Q : "D", 
  R : "E", 
  S : "F", 
  T : "G", 
  U : "H", 
  V : "I", 
  W : "J", 
  X : "K", 
  Y : "L", 
  Z : "M", 
};
var newArr = str.split("");//converts str into an array of characters
var newStr = 
//filters undefined items in array
newArr.filter(item => item!==undefined)
 //map feature replaces letters with their valued keys deciphering the ROT13 string
.map(x => code[x])
//joins code back into a string
.join("");
return newStr; 
}

console.log(
rot13("GUR DHVPX OEBJA SBK WHZCF BIRE GUR YNML QBT."),
rot13("SERR PBQR PNZC"), rot13("SERR CVMMN!"), rot13("SERR YBIR?")
);

Hi, Try this one:

let alphabets = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'.split('')

The only problem I see with your solution is that the line map(x => code[x]) only works for characters that are in your code object. It looks like you need to add conditional logic that only changes the character if it is a property in code.
