Tell us what’s happening:
Hi Guys! I am trying to figure out how to delete the first space or “-”.
I bet it is somehow possible with an if-statement but i really want to do this with a combined function
Your code so far
// Only change code below this line
function urlSlug(title) {
let arr = title.toLowerCase().split(" ").join("-");
return arr;
}
// Only change code above this line
console.log(urlSlug(" Winter Is Coming"));

Challenge: Functional Programming - Apply Functional Programming to Convert Strings to URL Slugs
I just want to confirm this is what you are trying to do? (your description does not match the request from the linked exercise).
The linked exercise says to turn spaces into dashes.
Your sentence says you want to delete the first space or dash??
(if you do mean that, please give an example so it is 100% clear what you want this function to do)
Oh yes. One test starts with a space infront of the first word. Just like " Winter is Coming" ( did a lot of space to see it clearly). But this first space or later the first dash ( because it is converted to a dash ) should not be there.
I wasn’t sure if you were aware of it or not. (maybe you were avoiding it as part of an exercise for eg.) In general, whenever you need to do something simple, it is good to check online for a function that will do it for you. (rather than re-invent the wheel)
Yes that sounds good. The whole time i was like “This is cheating” but now I will do.
But now there is another problem. the test don’t want to pass. I did it with the trim function and mit console.log shows me what the test result should be, but the test is not “checked” or passed. what should I do ?

// Only change code below this line
function urlSlug(title) {
let arr = title.trim().toLowerCase().split(" ").join("-");
return arr;
}
// Only change code above this line
console.log(urlSlug(" Winter Is Coming"));
//Output is "winter-is-coming"
