Tell us what’s happening:

Hello, I’m not sure of why my code isn’t valid here. The data my function outputs is a string afaik and the cut is made where it should. The result is the same as described in the user story.

Your code so far

function truncateString (string, num){
if (string.length > num){
  const stringMax = string.slice(0, num);
  const cutString = `${stringMax}... `;
  return cutString;
}else return string;
}
truncateString("A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket", 8);
console.log(truncateString("A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket", 8));
