Confirm the Ending-function incorrectly always returns false

Check if a string (first argument, str ) ends with the given target string (second argument, target ).

It seems that statement ‘return (/target$/.test(str));’ always return false. I am not sure why. Advice much appreciated. :sweat_smile:

function confirmEnding(str, target) {

/*if regex (target) matches the end of the string (str), statement should return true. If not, it should return false*/

return (/target$/.test(str));
}

confirmEnding("Bastian", "n");

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please 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.

Please 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.

Hello and welcome to the FCC community~!

You’ve put target in within your Regex delimiters // so it seems the code is looking for a literal string “target”, not the value for the target parameter. :slight_smile:
