Console Log indicates code is working. But tests don't pass

Good Afternoon All

First post here, and very much a code novice.
Really having to do a lot of reading on these Basic Algorithm tasks.
Getting beat a lot, but determined to keep returning.

On this one, using the console.log it implies the results should pass (at least) some of the tests. But the ticks don’t appear.
Am I off track somewhere?

  **Your code so far**

function repeatStringNumTimes(str, num) {
var result = " ";
while (num > 0) {
  result += str 
  num = num-1
  
} 
console.log(result)
return result;
} 

repeatStringNumTimes("abc", 2);

var result = " ";

This line is the one causing the problem. Do you really want the finally string to start with a space character?
