Now you can alert the user if they don't enter a number, or the number is invalid before you attempt to convert it into binary.
In the body of the if statement, use the alert() method to display the text "Please provide a decimal number greater than or equal to 0".
Note that alert() is a method on the window object in the browser, so you can use either window.alert() or alert().
You should call the alert() method within the body of your if statement within checkUserInput.
assert.match(String(checkUserInput), /if\s*\(\s*.+\s*\)\s*\{\s*(?:window\.|globalThis\.)?alert\(/);
When there is a falsy value in the #number-input element and the checkUserInput() function is called, the alert() method should display the text "Please provide a decimal number greater than or equal to 0".
const numberInput = document.getElementById("number-input");
let alertMessage;
window.alert = (message) => alertMessage = message; // Override alert and store message
numberInput.value = '';
checkUserInput();
assert.strictEqual(alertMessage?.trim().replace(/[.,?!]+$/g, '').toLowerCase(), 'please provide a decimal number greater than or equal to 0');
