This code works when I test it but doesn't pass the tests (search and replace)

Tell us what’s happening:
Hi there kind fellows,
I have made a piece of code that works. However, it doesn’t pass the tests. Can anyone sort this out?

Your code so far


function myReplace(str, before, after) {
let splitstr = str.split(" ");
let index = splitstr.indexOf(before);
console.log(splitstr[index]);


if (splitstr[index].split("")[0] == splitstr[index].split("")[0].toUpperCase()) {
after = after.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + after.slice(1);
}
splitstr.splice(index, 1, after);
for (let ind = 0; ind < splitstr.length; ind++) {
splitstr[ind] = splitstr[ind] + " ";
}
let ret = ( splitstr.join(""));
console.log( ret);
}

myReplace("Let us go to the store", "store", "mall");

Challenge: Search and Replace

Link to the challenge:

Two things:
I’ve wrapped your ret variable in < and > so you can see exactly what the value is. Notice something wrong with the string?


Second, your function doesn’t have a return command, so it will not pass.

Ahh thank you! That was confusing me a ton.
