Joining an Array

The Challenge:

Use the join method (among others) inside the sentensify function to make a sentence from the words in the string str. The function should return a string. For example, “I-like-Star-Wars” would be converted to “I like Star Wars”. For this challenge, do not use the replace method.

My Solution:

This is seemingly the inverse of the previous problem… but this time I’m not allowed to use that beautiful replace()! I should be able to use some regex techniques that I looked at in the last exercise. Let’s get cracking then…

I guess I’ll first try to use split() to separate the array at each point that is not a letter of the alphabet. I will specify this using a regex expression as before.

Yeup, I did str.split(/[\W]/g) and it seems to be functioning correctly! Next a join and then that should be it!

function sentensify(str) {

  const splitter = str.split(/[\W]/g);
  const joiner = splitter.join(" ");
  
  return joiner
}

console.log(sentensify("The.force.is.strong.with.this.one"));

Easy peasy 😁
