76.0% Acceptance

In this lab, you will be given a sentence s and an integer k. Your task is to truncate the sentence s such that it contains only the first k words. To achieve this, you will implement a function called truncateSentence, which will take two arguments - a string s, representing the sentence, and a number k, representing the number of words to truncate the sentence to.

This lab will test your understanding of string manipulation and basic knowledge of JavaScript.

Requirements

  • Use ESM import/export everywhere.
  • Follow the instructions given in the lab carefully.
  • Make sure to export any function, variable, etc. that you will be using in the Evaluation Script.

Examples

Here are a few examples to help you understand the problem better:

Example 1:

truncateSentence("Hello how are you Contestant", 4);

Output: "Hello how are you"

Explanation: The words in s are ["Hello", "how", "are", "you", "Contestant"]. The first 4 words are ["Hello", "how", "are", "you"]. Hence, you should return "Hello how are you".

Example 2:

truncateSentence("What is the solution to this problem", 4);

Output: "What is the solution"

Explanation: The words in s are ["What", "is", "the", "solution", "to", "this", "problem"]. The first 4 words are ["What", "is", "the", "solution"]. Hence, you should return "What is the solution".

Example 3:

truncateSentence("chopper is not a tanuki", 5);

Output: "chopper is not a tanuki"

Challenges

  1. Ensure you read the input string carefully.
  2. Split the input string by space and extract the first k words.
  3. Join the extracted words to form a truncated sentence.
  4. Return the resulting truncated sentence.

Best of luck, and happy coding!
