Tell us what’s happening:
The provided solution under the hint tab does not pass the tests. There is no indication in the problem that the ‘…’ should be included in the truncated count. It passes when we remove this condition.
Your code so far
function truncateString(str, num) {
// Clear out that junk in your trunk
if (str.length > num && num > 3) {
return str.slice(0, (num - 3)) + '...';
} else if (str.length > num && num <= 3) {
return str.slice(0, num) + '...';
} else {
return str;
}
}
truncateString("A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket", 8);
