Question

At the moment I’m studying functions, and I cannot really find out what’s wrong with the following code.
No matter what value “password” takes I always get “NICE”

var passValid = function (password) {
    return password.length;
};

if (passValid<5){
    console.log("ERROR");
}
else{
    console.log("NICE");
}

passValid("somevalue");

Answer 1

I think you want:

if (passValid("password") < 5) {
  console.log("ERROR");
}
else {
  console.log("NICE");
}

I’m not sure how to describe why your original code is wrong; it’s just sort-of off in the weeds 🙂
