Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.

Hello, please help me to figure out why its not passing the test, even though its resulting in desire output.

Your code so far

function fearNotLetter(str) {
  let alphaKey;
  let alpha = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z'];
  
  str = str.split('');
  let i =0;
  while(i < alpha.length){
    if(str[0]===alpha[i]){
      alphaKey = i;
    }
    i++
  }

  let y =0;
  for(let x= alphaKey; x<alpha.length; x++){
    
    if(alpha.length == str.length){
     str = 'undefined';
     break;
    
    }
    else if(str[y]==alpha[x]){
      y++;
    } else if(str[y]!=alpha[x] && y<str.length) {
      str = alpha[x];
      break;
    }
    else {
      str = 'undefined';
      break;
    }
  }

  return str;
}

console.log(fearNotLetter("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"));

It should return the primitive value undefined, not the string “undefined”.
