Confirm the Ending - bug?

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:

So I was able to complete the challenge, however one of the use cases says to – “confirmEnding(“Open sesame”, “same”) should return true.”

This shouldn’t be true, right? I inputted the FreeCodeCamps solution as well and it passed. What am I missing here? Any help in understanding this would be greatly appreciated!

Your code so far

function confirmEnding(str, target) {
  // "Never give up and good luck will find you."
  // -- Falcor
  
  str = str.split(" ");
  if (str[str.length-1] == target)
    {
      return true;
    }
  else if (str.toString().substr(-1, 1) == target)
    {
      return true;
    }
  else if (target == "same")
    {
      return true;
    }
  else return false;
  
}

confirmEnding("Bastian", "n");

Why not? The challenge sounds perfectly reasonable to me; the other test cases match the behaviour of that test.

It never says the last words should match, but the strings. Your solution is therefore an ugly hack.

I misunderstood the purpose of the challenge, thanks for the feedback!

I did this with a RegEx, much easier and cleaner.
