im doing this qualification bootcamp and i cant seem to get it to work properly. it should just return true without those two annoying errors at the bottom of the pic.

i tried different methods like just calling the function name and now console.log returns true like its supposed to but its giving 2 other errors in this bootcamps specific editor.
jsfiddle, jsbin and the browsers console just returns true without any errors.

here is written code i have done:

var registrationNumber = “CY123”;

function isFromBellville() {
  return registrationNumber.startsWith("CY")
};

console.log(isFromBellville());

please let me know how i can fix this error.

Is this function supposed to take the registrationNumber as an argument instead of referencing a global variable?

3

I would expect a function like that to have a parameter
otherwise how can it be tested with different input?

it gives a type error: cant read property if i insert registrationNumber as a parameter

What does your code look like when you try to do that?

6

if i put registrationNumber as an argument i get the same error as in the picture

In the picture you do not have the registrationNumber as a function argument.

That code does not have the registrationNumber being used as a function argument and is still referencing the global variable.

Have you created functions with arguments before? This freeCodeCamp tutorial may be helpful.

i used it at the top as a parameter as well and it gave a type error: cannot read property

What do you mean by “used it at the top as a parameter”? Can you share code of you doing so?
