I’m doing the intermediate JavaScript coding challenges for Arrays, Loops, Objects, Iterators.
The challenge is to
write a function
subLength()that takes 2 parameters, a string and a single character. The function should search the string for the two occurrences of the character and return the length between them including the 2 characters. If there are less than 2 or more than 2 occurrences of the character the function should return 0.
My solution (as strange as it might be) is nothing like the actual solution however seems to work. Here’s my solution.
function subLength(str, char){
let subStrArrLength = str.split(char).length;
let subStrLength = str.split(char)[1].length + 2;
if(subStrArrLength < 3 || subStrArrLength > 3){
return 0;
}
return subStrLength;
}
//these are the test examples
console.log(subLength('Saturday', 'a'))
console.log(subLength('summer', 'm'))
console.log(subLength('digitize', 'i'))
console.log(subLength('cheesecake', 'k'))
I would much appreciate any help with figuring out where I’m going wrong.
