I guess I didn't think about this problem... do you think there's a way to fix this

Question

In this code I'm trying to make a bot that will answer your questions. I've already done some work to it, and I came across a problem so I just made a snippet so you are not overwhelmed looking at the whole code.

input = "this is my question";
the input is your question. Ask anything there.

The Problem:

q1 = "hi"
q2 = "ship"

The bot will Test things like this;
if (input is "hi")
{answer = "hello, how are you"}
else if (input is "ship"){
answer = "no, we don't have any ships"}

You see the problem there: hi, and s__hi__p. The bot will always thinks it's hi, because it's dumb, you know what i mean_!!. That's just how it is. I don't know how to make it smarter so it can identify two different words.

experiment with the code to better understand.

Answer 1

You could use word boundaries:
https://javascript.info/regexp-boundary

/\bhi\b/i will match:
"hi" //true
"ship" //false
"a b c d hi e f" //true

After looking at the site on the link you sent me, it didn't take long for me to fix the code.
Thx. Again.
