Whale Talk

Hello, I am posting after comparing my code to a solution but still can not find the difference causing mine to work incorrectly…
input = 'hi humans' should log IUUA
instead mine is logging AUEIOAUU with input = 'hi humans' and it logs AOEIAOUU with input = 'hi, humans'
Any help is greatly appreciated!

tribbans95/whaleTalk/blob/main/whaleTalk.js

let input = 'Hi, Humans'


const vowels = ['a','e','i','o','u']

let resultArray = []

for (i = 0; i < input.length; i++){
  // console.log(input[i]);
  for (j = 0; j < vowels.length; j++){
   if (input[i] === input[j])
   resultArray.push(vowels[j])
}
  if ((input[i] === 'e') || (input[i] === 'u')) {
    resultArray.push(input[i])
} 
}


console.log(resultArray.join('').toUpperCase());

Hi @core2761115992

Here you are comparing the sentence (input) letters with other letters of that sentence, instead of comparing them with the vowel array.

oh my goodness!! I believe i had it as vowels[j] at some point and changed it because it wasn’t working originally (due to other part being wrong) so I was trying different stuff. Welp thats embarrassing! thank you
