String methods toUpperCase

[Mbadady]

const checkBaggage = function(items){
  const baggage = items.toLowerCase();
  if (baggage.includes("knife") || baggage.includes("gun")){
    console.log("You are not allowed on board")
  }else{
    console.log("Welcome onboard");
  }
}
checkBaggage("I have a laptop, some Food and a pocket Knife")
checkBaggage("Socks and Camera")
checkBaggage("Got some snacks and a gun for protection");

please why is knife inside the code equal to Knife when called.

It isn’t equal. You make your string lower case. So the “knife” is equal to “knife”

the second knife has K in capital
