javascript toLowerCase()

Question

question: why is here the right answer „Daveoxford“ and NOT „daveoxford“?

var name = „Dave“;
var school = „Oxford“;
name.toLowerCase();
school.toLowerCase();
console.log(name + school);

//the „“ in the code are both up. just dont know why this is here not working. 😒

Answer 1

You have to save the value in a variable. For example

var name = "Dave";
var school = "Oxford";
name =name.toLowerCase();
school=school.toLowerCase();
console.log(name +school);

Answer 2

You have to save the value in a variable. In your code you were printing the same variable but not the lowercase value

Answer 4

Strings are immutable in JavaScript so the toLowerCase() will not alter the actual string until and unless the change is assigned to the string itself. Try writing-

name=name.toLowerCase();
school=school.toLowerCase();
