Fix the weekend check

Skills: Debugging · Boolean expressions

Task

isWeekend(day) should return true for "Saturday" and "Sunday", and false for every other day. Day names are written with a capital first letter. Fix the condition.

What goes wrong

isWeekend("Saturday") returns false, and so does every other day.

Examples

Run examples tries these. Check solution also runs 3 more tests.

  1. Saturday is a weekend dayExample
    Call
    isWeekend("Saturday")
    Expected
    Returns true
  2. Monday is notExample
    Call
    isWeekend("Monday")
    Expected
    Returns false

Every test, including the extra ones, is part of this page. Nothing is hidden or secret.

Your code

Loading the editor…

function isWeekend(day) {
  return day === "Saturday" && day === "Sunday";
}

Ctrl + Enter (⌘ + Enter on a Mac) runs the examples; add Shift to check. Tab indents; press Esc, then Tab, to leave the editor.

Run examples tries your code on the examples and records nothing. Check solution runs every test and saves an attempt.
