--description--

As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project cloned from <a href="https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-mochachai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GitHub</a>.

#typeOf asserts that value's type is the given string, as determined by Object.prototype.toString.

--instructions--

Within tests/1_unit-tests.js under the test labeled #17 in the Objects suite, change each assert to either assert.typeOf or assert.notTypeOf to make the test pass (should evaluate to true). Do not alter the arguments passed to the asserts.

--hints--

All tests should pass.

js
const response = await fetch(code + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=16');
if (!response.ok) {
  throw Error(await response.text());
}
const data = await response.json();
assert.equal(data.state, 'passed');

You should choose the correct method for the first assertion - typeOf vs. notTypeOf.

js
const response = await fetch(code + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=16');
if (!response.ok) {
  throw Error(await response.text());
}
const data = await response.json();
assert.equal(
  data.assertions[0].method,
  'typeOf',
  'myCar is typeOf Object'
);

You should choose the correct method for the second assertion - typeOf vs. notTypeOf.

js
const response = await fetch(code + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=16');
if (!response.ok) {
  throw Error(await response.text());
}
const data = await response.json();
assert.equal(
  data.assertions[1].method,
  'typeOf',
  'Car.model is a String'
);

You should choose the correct method for the third assertion - typeOf vs. notTypeOf.

js
const response = await fetch(code + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=16');
if (!response.ok) {
  throw Error(await response.text());
}
const data = await response.json();
assert.equal(
  data.assertions[2].method,
  'notTypeOf',
  'Plane.wings is a Number (not a String)'
);

You should choose the correct method for the fourth assertion - typeOf vs. notTypeOf.

js
const response = await fetch(code + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=16');
if (!response.ok) {
  throw Error(await response.text());
}
const data = await response.json();
assert.equal(
  data.assertions[3].method,
  'typeOf',
  'Plane.engines is an Array'
);

You should choose the correct method for the fifth assertion - typeOf vs. notTypeOf.

js
const response = await fetch(code + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=16');
if (!response.ok) {
  throw Error(await response.text());
}
const data = await response.json();
assert.equal(
  data.assertions[4].method,
  'typeOf',
  'Car.wheels is a Number'
);
