If str is "Argument goes here" it returns XXXXXXXXX. WHy doesn't it return MMMMMMMMMM?
you do not look up an entry in an array with in
. use indexOf()
to find the position of an array entry. indexOf()
will return the position or -1
if no entry is found.
for (var i = 0; i<str.length; i++){
var strChar = str.charAt(i).toLowerCase();
if ( letter.indexOf(strChar) >= 0 ) {
newstr += "M";
}
