Bonfire-Search-and-Replace.md

Problem Explanation:

• You will create a program that takes a sentence, then search for a word in it and replaces it for a new one while preserving the uppercase if there is one.

Hint: 1

• Find the index where before is in the string.

Hint: 2

• Check first letter case.

Hint: 3

• Strings are immutable, you will need to save the edits on another variable, even if you must reuse the same one just to make it look like the changes where done using just that one variable.

Spoiler Alert!

Solution ahead!

Code Solution:

function myReplace(str, before, after) {
  // Find index where before is on string
  var index = str.indexOf(before);
  // Check to see if the first letter is uppercase or not
  if (str[index] === str[index].toUpperCase()) {
    // Change the after word to be capitalized before we use it.
    after = after.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + after.slice(1);
  }
  // Now replace the original str with the edited one.
  str = str.replace(before, after);

  return str;
}

Another Solution:

function myReplace(str, before, after) {
//Create a regular expression object
  var re = new RegExp(before,"gi");
//Check whether the first letter is uppercase or not
  if(/[A-Z]/.test(before[0])){
  //Change the word to be capitalized
    after = after.charAt(0).toUpperCase()+after.slice(1);
     }
     //Replace the original word with new one
  var  newStr =  str.replace(re,after);

 return newStr;

}
