Truncate a String (last test cases)

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:

Hey everyone :slight_smile: Hope you’re all well and happy.

My code is working for all but two test cases:

truncateString(“A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket”, “A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket”.length) should return “A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket”.

truncateString(“A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket”, “A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket”.length + 2) should return “A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket”.

As you can see, my code works for the forms where num is given as a number.

Can anyone please explain how I can modify my code to catch these last two tests?

Thanks in advance!

Your code so far


function truncateString(str, num) {
  if (str.length > num){
    str = str.slice(0, num);
    return str + "...";
  }
}

truncateString("A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket", 8);
console.log(truncateString("A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket", "A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket".length));
