Tell us what’s happening:
I’m so close to finishing this, but i’ve been stuck on this technical thing for like a week, and i’ve looked it up a bunch of times on google. but i can find how to return empty quotes i even looked at the answer for the challenge and did what it said and still when i run the test, it doesn’t work.
Your code so far
function repeatStringNumTimes(str, num) {
if ( num <= 0){
let blank = " ";
return blank;
} else {
let arr = [];
for (let i = 0; i < num - 1; i++){
let rob = str.substr(0);
arr.push(rob);}
let rot = arr.join("");
let tot = str.concat(rot);
return tot
}
}
console.log(repeatStringNumTimes("*", 8));
//i can turn it into an array then have a for loop run as long as its smaller than num. And if its smaller i'll have be pushed into the concat bc i'm pretty sure u can concat arrays as well
// the problem now is that the answer is given with a comma instead of being join and the only way to fix that is by concating so i can concat x amount of times with an even number and then add one concat when its odd and then make a special case when it for it to run once. But i know ther is a better way to do this than this
