I initially have a string whose words first letter I want to capitalize. After capitalization, I'm unable to convert the array back to string. What's wrong here?
const name = 'This is a beautiful day';
console.log(name)
const capitalizedName = name.split(' ');
for (let i = 0; i < capitalizedName.length; i++) {
capitalizedName[i] =
capitalizedName[i][0].toUpperCase() + capitalizedName[i].substr(1);
}
capitalizedName.join(' ');
console.log(capitalizedName);
The output:-
This is a beautiful day
[ 'This', 'Is', 'A', 'Beautiful', 'Day' ]
Output that I was expecting:-
This is a beautiful day
This Is A Beautiful Day
You need to reassign the variable capitalizedName as a string
capitalizedName = capitalizedName.join(' ');
you don't reassign capitalizedName after join function
you can also use map function on split array to manipulate word each other
const name = 'This is a beautiful day';
console.log(name);
let capitalized = name.split(' ')
.map(word => word[0].toUpperCase() + word.substr(1))
.join(' ');
console.log(capitalized);
