Tell us what’s happening: Please show me why this dont pass step 3 and 4

function truncateString (str, num) {
if (str.length <= num) {
return console.log(str);
} else if (str.length > num) {
var result = str.substring(0, num) + “…”;
return result;
}
}

Your code so far

function truncateString (str, num) {
  if (str.length <= num) {
    return console.log(str);
  } else if (str.length > num) {
    var result = str.substring(0, num) + "...";
    return result;
  }
}

Please Tell us what’s happening in your own words.

Learning to describe problems is hard, but it is an important part of learning how to code.

Also, the more you say, the more we can help!

because if I test with console.log(truncateString("A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket", "A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket".length)), your function is returning undefined
