Message me in the number on my signature

Use this solve number one question
function WordCounter (str) {
var words = str.split(" ".length;
return words;
}


However use the name of the string class in the bracket after the wordcounter. You can chat me up for the rest.

Function wordCounter (str) {
let eachWord = str.split( "" ) ;
return eachWord [1]. length;
}

Explanation:
The String split method splits a strings with respect to the argument passed in it. In our case ( "" ) : i.e. anywhere it finds a space( "" ) it will split/cut and returns the splited items in an array....

For example str = "I am a programmer"

str.split( "" ) returns = ["I", "am", "a", "programmer"]

//Splitting the sentence everywhere it finds an empty space...

we save the returned array in a variable = eachWord

Then we simply target the second index/second word using square bracket methods.... eachWord [1]. //index in JS starts from 0

Then we get the length.... With the "length" property = eachWord [1]. length

Use this for the first question

function WordCounter (str) {
var words = str.split(" ".length;
return words;
}

However use the name of the string class in the bracket after the wordcounter. You can chat me up for the rest.

This will return the length of items in the array... In this case, the total number of "words" in the sentence...

Your Solution no work

Your Solution no work

Ok you didnt actually use " . " because nairaland changes it to emoji

Solution 1:

//The .split method splits your string when ever it identifies what you passed into it and then forms an array
Now assuming the sentence here ends when ever we get a ' . '

function NoStringsAttached(){
const myStr = 'This is my test string to practice the javascript string function concepts. This is gonna be fun'

return myStr.split("." )[0].length
}

Now Run: NoStringsAttached()

Solution 2:

//Same thing for No2. Its .split method splits your string when ever it identifies what you passed into it and then forms an array

function NoStringsAttached(){
const myStr = 'This is my test string to practice the javascript string function concepts. This is gonna be fun'

return myStr.split("." )[1].length
}

Now Run: NoStringsAttached()

Can also be done with for loops.
just build a string with each letter in the strings and when you get to " . " break the string then start building a new letter, then push them to and array then return length of first or second of your array element

Look up string methods on w3schools its impossible to remember all the methods
For the search you will use JavaScript regEx find it on w3schools, every JS method is explained there

I have the site locally on my laptop and I'm using it rn for a little Js game I'm attempting

What you're are asking for is not clear enough or juxtaposed but I just want to assume it's a typo and you mean second instead of first @ the bolded.

However, you can use the .splice () method and collect the length of the entire character when you output your code. The .splice() is another kind of procedure to achieve your result. I know different programmers have different procedures. So there are various ways you can achieve what you're asking for.

.splice() is an array method in JavaScript and not for strings.

Unless ur talking about another language

mstr.split("."[1].length;
Should do the trick.
Here you are splitting the string using the full stop as the separator, which returns an array of the split. Index number 1 represents the second sentence.

The splice method is for arrays

My oh my.... I guess I juxtaposed, too. I was referring to .slice() not .splice() then using the .length to collect the amount of string character.

solution 2:
// Get the index of the first letter of the 2nd sentence.
const index = myStr.lastIndexOf("T"

// Slice it and get the length.
const result = myStr.slice(index).length;
console.log(result);

Just split by full stop. Though I would like to see how you got the length of the first Sentence, cause if you knew that, why would getting the second sentence be a problem?
