Your code so far

function convertHTML(str){
    let newStr = str.split("")
    for(let string of newStr){
     if(string === "&"){
      let index = newStr.indexOf(string)
       newStr.splice(index, 1, "&") 
     }else if(string === "<"){
      let index = newStr.indexOf(string)
       newStr.splice(index, 1, "&amp;lt;")
     }else if(string === ">"){
      let index = newStr.indexOf(string)
       newStr.splice(index, 1, "&amp;gt;")
     }else if(string === "\""){
      let index = newStr.indexOf(string)
       newStr.splice(index, 1, "&amp;quot;")
     }else if(string === "\'"){
      let index = newStr.indexOf(string)
       newStr.splice(index, 1, "&amp;apos;")
     }
    }
    let string = newStr.join("")
   return string 
}
console.log(convertHTML("<>"))

why are you also escaping the & in the html entity? it’s not going to be that html entity if you do that
