Tell us what’s happening:
Does the freeCodeCamp JS compiler not work with regex’s, becasue my code should work perfectly fine, but it doesn’t.
Your code so far
function isValidNumber(n, base) {
binaryRegex = /^[0-1]+$/;
octalRegex = /^[0-7]+$/
base10Regex = /^[0-9]+$/;
hexRegex = /^#?([a-f0-9]{6}|[a-f0-9]{3})$/i;
base36Regex = /^[0-9a-z]+$/i;
/*
switch(base){
case 2:
return binaryRegex.test(n);
case 8:
return octalRegex.test(n);
case 10:
return base10Regex.test(n);
case 16:
return hexRegex.test(n);
case 36:
return base36Regex.test(n);
default:
return "Error"
}*/
if(base == 2){
return binaryRegex.test(n);
}
}
