Using typeof challenge requires semicolons to be correct

[andria-dev]

Challenge Name

Using typeof

Issue Description

In the Using typeof challenge, if one were to submit:

console.log(typeof "")

console.log(typeof 0)

console.log(typeof [])

console.log(typeof {})

However, if semicolons were added:

console.log(typeof "");

console.log(typeof 0);

console.log(typeof []);

console.log(typeof {});

Then all the tests are passed. Javascript does not require semicolons therefore this is simply complicating the challenge for users who do not use semicolons.

Thanks for reporting this bug @ChrisBrownie55!

The challenge has been removed in the beta, but there is still a challenge about typeof. It also requires a semicolon. We don't need to enforce that here.

What needs to be changed

You can find the code here:

freeCodeCamp/seed/challenges/02-javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures/debugging.json

Line 129 in 5214371

"assert(code.match(/console\\.log\\(typeof[\\( ].*\\)?\\);/g).length == 2, 'message: Your code should use <code>typeof</code> in two <code>console.log()</code> statements to check the type of the variables.');",

Removing the semicolon from the regular expression there should do the trick.

I submitted a PR for this. It should now work as intended.
