Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far


function convertHTML(str) {
  // :)
  str = str.replace(/</g,'&lt;');
  str = str.replace(/>/g,'&gt;');
  str = str.replace(/&/g,'&amp;');
  str = str.replace(/'/g,'&apos;');
  str = str.replace(/"/g,'&quot;');
  return str;
}

console.log(convertHTML('Hamburgers < Pizza < Tacos'));

Sure - you convert the &lt; properly, then you check for an ampersand… Which you just injected with your &lt;.

Thanks @snowmonkey for the solution. I was struck on this problem for hours.
