Title Case a Sentence why this doesn't work

[ohersi1]

For this one I can see that the uppercasing didn’t work but I want to know why so I can understand where I went wrong. I will map through it as per the solution but I wanna know why this didn’t work with the for loop thank you

function titleCase(str) {
  let newStr = str.toLowerCase().split(" ");
  for (let i = 0; i < newStr.length; i++) {
    newStr[i].replace(newStr[i].charAt(0), newStr[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase())
  }
  console.log(newStr)

    return console.log(newStr.join(" "));
}

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).

String.prototype.replace() - JavaScript | MDN

The replace() method returns a new string with some or all matches of a pattern replaced by a replacement.

Hi can you see where I went wrong in my code that is what I wanted to know thank you

[JeremyLT]

You should read the documentation I linked. The replace method does not change the original string, it returns a new string.

Adding to the above, a string is a primitive that’s immutable.
