console.log(confirmEnding(“Connor”, “n”));
returns true , Connor have two n’s and my function returns true but it should be false bcz n should be match only one time not twice according to the challenge . So tell me how to do it ?

  **Your code so far**


function confirmEnding(str, target) {
var string= [];
string.push(str)
var result;
for(let i=0;i<string.length;i++){
if(string[i].includes(target)==true){
  result = true;
}
else{
  result  = false;
}
}
return result
}
console.log(confirmEnding("Connor", "n"))

Challenge: Confirm the Ending

includes is a very useful function, but not necessarily for this. Instead, can you think of some string functions that might let you pull a smaller string from a bigger one? A substring of str, if you will?

3

it seems you have misinterpreted the instructions, you are checking the ending of the string, the last character(s) of str must be equal to target for the function to return true

4

Nope I totally understand the instructions . Actually I took the wrong approach for this question.

5

Did you get it working?? Wildly curious now lol

:sweat_smile: still trying to find the solution… I’ll sent u a message when it’s done

This isn’t the solution, but it might help: DevDocs

confirmEnding("Connor", "n") should return false because Connor doesn’t end with an “n”, not because Connor has two n instead of one

Okkk now I get it . I actually misinterpreted the instructions :man_facepalming:

The problem per me, is when you said string.push(str) this means string is and array of one string value, ie the str is not converted to array.

also .includes() method is a recursive itself, it goes through the string. completely character by character.

So you don’t need

  • the for(){} loop, you don’t
  • no need also making the str an array due the different methods strings have

Well:
string.includes(stringToSearch, startSearchAt);

I hope this explains itself

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.
