var userWord = readLine("Enter a 5 letter word: \n");
var randomItem = listOfWords[Math.floor(Math.random()*listOfWords.length)];
var newWord = [userWord];
if(newWord != randomItem){
letterChecker();
} else {
println("Correct!");
}
Checks if the first letter of both words is the same or not, I can't seem to get how to find the first character of both arrays and compare. If I type in the correct word the "Correct!" prompt displays, however the "is green" doesn't appear.
function letterChecker(){
if (newWord[0] === randomItem[0]{
println(newWord[0] +" is green");
}
}
You don't need to put newWord into array, use directly like:
var userWord = 'hi';
const listOfWords = ['hi', 'hello'];
var randomItem = listOfWords[Math.floor(Math.random() * listOfWords.length)];
var newWord = userWord;
if (newWord != randomItem) {
letterChecker();
} else {
console.log("Correct!");
}
function letterChecker() {
console.log(newWord, randomItem);
if (newWord[0] === randomItem[0]) {
console.log(newWord[0] + " is green");
}
}
