Includes()

[deringmagdalena]

Hi,
I am doing basic JS ex.
I have to check if:

Test.assertEquals(spEng("english"), true);
Test.assertEquals(spEng("egnlish"), false);

has a world ''english". The order of characters is important – a string “abcEnglishdef” is correct but “abcnEglishsef” is not correct.

What I have is:

function spEng(sentence){
if (sentence.includes("english")) {
return true;
} else {
  return false;
  }
}

This solution doesn’t fit. Can you give me some advices?

This solution doesn’t fit.

well. it fits the tests you created.

other than that it only remains to mention that .includes() tests case-sensitive, so ‘English’ would not match the test string ‘english’.

You can also make things more concise like so:

function spEng(sentence){
  return sentence.includes("english");
}

You can also make things more concise like so:

function spEng(sentence){
  return sentence.includes("english");
}

If you lowercased the sentence before checking it, that will catch any differences of case too.

function spEng(sentence){
  return sentence.toLowerCase().includes("english");
}
