const removeParenth = function (str) {
// your code here - don't forget to return a string!
let start;
let finish;
for (let i in str) {
if (str[i] === '(') {
start = i;
}
if (str[i] === ')') {
finish = i;
}
}
// console.log(start, finish);
// console.log(str);
let omitStr = str.substring(start, finish + 1);
console.log(omitStr);
return str.replace(omitStr, "");
};
console.log(removeParenth('ido(not)liketocode'));I'm trying to slice the '(not)' part from the input string, but somehow the 'omitStr' gives me '(not)liketocode' instead of '(not)'.
Anyone knows why this happens?
Because you are summing string and number so it gives you uncorrect result. You can change this line finish = parseInt(i);
const removeParenth = function (str) {
// your code here - don't forget to return a string!
let start;
let finish;
for ( let i in str) {
if (str[i] === '(') {
start = parseInt(i);
}
if (str[i] === ')') {
finish = parseInt(i);
}
}
// console.log(start, finish);
// console.log(str);
let omitStr = str.substring(start, finish+1);
console.log(omitStr);
return str.replace(omitStr, "");
};
console.log(removeParenth('ido(not)liketocode'));
