Hi All,
I’m doing the 3rd code exercise of JavaScript Practice: Arrays, Loops, Objects, Iterators
I’ve tested the output and it’s correct but when I click check answer it states:
Tested groceries([{item: 'Lettuce'}, {item: 'Onions'}, {item: 'Tomatoes'}]) and it did not return 'Lettuce, Onions and Tomatoes' .
I thought the code you create doesn’t exactly have to match the solution so what am I missing?
Granted my solution is not very elegant but it still produces the correct output (see below).
// Write function below
//log conversion array of object literals to string
const groceries = arr => {
const str = arr.reduce((acc, curVal) =>
`${acc}${curVal.item}, `, '');
//console.log(str);
const lastIndex = str.lastIndexOf(',')
const replacement = "'";
const replaced =
str.substring(0, lastIndex) +
replacement +
str.substring(lastIndex + 1);
const withAnd = replaced.replace(/,(?=[^,]*$)/, ' and');
//console.log(withAnd);
const final = "'" + withAnd;
return final;
}
