Help on a Coding Question

[georgesofroniou]

Hello,

This is my second post on the forum and I am a coding beginner and therefore relatively new to the forum so sorry for any naive ignorance in the questions I may ask.

I was wondering if anyone could please pass their assisstance regarding a functioning question...?
I am completely stuck and cannot get my head around it on which methods are necessary?!

For this question I think I have to follow the specification pretty regimently, eg. the example result has to include the double quotes around 'prog found in pages 0,3,5,6,9'.

v) function findIdxsC(s) - to return a string containing the indexes in the pages array where s was found in the content part, e.g. "prog found in pages 0,3,5,6,9" [Note that this function will not contain an alert]

Example call: findIdxsC("prog")

Example result: "prog found in pages 0,3,5,6,9"


Cheers, George

Two ways to put quote marks (and apostrophes) inside of a string:

var one = "Joe said, \"I'm off to see the wizard!\" ";
var two = 'Mary said, "Actually, he\'s just off." ';

Just a thought - does the search for "prog" find whole words only? Or "program", "progressive", "sprog", etc?

Thanks Old Pedant

Philip M... from my understanding if you use prog in the search it should find a whole word such as programme.. therefore the result would be: "prog" found.
Hope that answers your question??

prog in programme is not a whole word. The whole word is programme. prog is a substring of that word. Example:-

var mystring = "programme";
if (/prog/gi.test(mystring) {   // true

if (/\bprog\b/gi.test(mystrong)) {  // false
