I am doing the “All Your Base” JavaScript exercise. My toBaseTen method. works perfectly. But, my toBaseX is a bit broken. Well, kind of a lot. So, first of all, my while loop was never breaking, so I posted on a reddit, and they told me to use a forced-breaking loop. I replaced true with BREAKER--. The loop eventually breaks after 10,000 iterations if BREAKER is never equal to zero.
When I ran the tests for my code below, 7 tests passed! But then, I received an error for Test 6: Converter > trinary to hexadecimal. You can go to this track yourself to see the context and run it, not gonna provide every single detail. Here is the error I got:
Error: expect(received).toEqual(expected) // deep equality
- Expected - 1
+ Received + 2
Array [
2,
- 10,
+ 1,
+ 0,
]
I am not good at diffs, but I think that means that the output [2, 10] is expected but [2, 1, 0] was received.
I have no idea how to fix this. Can y’all help me out please? I am so stuck, tried so many things, and my code isn’t working. I hope you guys know what’s going on.
