Tell us what’s happening:
I don’t even understand this one bit. Can someone walk through this problem step by step. I don’t know where the number 3 is coming from, I don’t see it anywhere in the problem’s question. The entire problem start to finish makes no logical sense to me. I tried to look at the solution for an hour. Please walk me through this.
Your code so far
function truncateString(str, num) {
// Clear out that junk in your trunk
str = truncateString(str, num);
if(str.Length > num > 3) {
return str.slice(0, (num-3)) + '...';
else if str.length > num && num <= 3 {
return str
}
}
console.truncateString(str,num);
}
truncateString("A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket", 8);
