Your code so far

  let array=[["&","&amp;"],["<","&lt;"],[">","&gt;"],['"',"&quot;"],["'","&apos;"]];
  for(let [specialChar,entities] of array){
    console.log(array)
  if(string.indexOf(specialChar)!==-1){
    string=string.split("");
    string.splice(string.indexOf(specialChar),1,entities)
    string=string.join("")
  
    
  }
  }
  return string 
}
