Tell us what’s happening:
I think I just make or design my code just to reach the answer i.e to pass all the test. So, tell me is this is the right way of solving this or any problem?
Your code so far
function telephoneCheck(str) {
// Good luck!
let reg = /^[1\s]*[0-9()]{3,5}[-\s]*[0-9]{3}[-\s]*[0-9]{4}$/
let counter = 0 //to count the opening and closing parenthesis are equal or not
if(Number(str) && str.length != 10) {
return false // to check the length of numbers equal to 10 if all the providing str is number i.e contain no parenthesis etc
}else if(reg.test(str)) {
for(let value of str) {
if(/[(]/g.test(value)) {
++counter
} else if(/[)]/g.test(value)) {
--counter
}
} // this conditional stmt to check the parenthesis
if(counter ==0) return true
}
return false
}
console.log(telephoneCheck("27576227382")) // false
console.log(telephoneCheck("(555)555-5555")) // true
