The string is not being sliced. The full string is being returned, rather than just the first num characters.
function truncateString(str, num) {
if (str.length > num) {
str.slice(0,num)
return str
} else {
return str
}
}
console.log(truncateString("A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket", 8))You need to return the result of the slice method:
function truncateString(str, num) {
if (str.length > num) {
return str.slice(0,num)
} else {
return str
}
}
console.log(truncateString("A-tisket a-tasket A green and yellow basket", 8))
