Yes you are right, they don't need to be there!

Ahh yes you are right @jistjoalal! I had too look that up, if the argument was an array or an object it would have been mutated but as a string it wasn't, thanks.

Maybe not best practice as you are mutating the argument but this is great!

No idea why I am compelled to do this.

No problem, thanks 👍

Hi. Which of Unnamed's solutions? I don't think using lodash is a problem if it passes the test cases.

I am going to presume that this issue is fixed as I have changed the test cases.

Personally I don't think looking at others solutions helps you to learn something as much as searching Stack Overflow and trying out some different solutions until you find one that works.

I've changed the test cases now for code length now so this may no longer me an issue. The limit is now 38 chars but doesn't incluse whitespaces. Please could you test this for me?

Fixed this one too. Thanks for the help.

Fixed. Thanks Voile :)

Hey. Your solution is 32 chars long not including whitespace. Which solution passed with 34, I will try sorting it out? (Mark as having a spoiler)

The object exists already, the letters are all uppercase. return firstName['D'] for example will get you the name for 'D'.

I didn't mean to submit this! Tests need fixing
