--description--

Test your getWordCount by creating a wordCount variable set to the calling of the getWordCount function with the sentence "I love freeCodeCamp".

After that, log the following to the console: "Word Count: [Word count goes here]". Replace [Word count goes here] with the actual variable name. You can choose to use template strings or string concatenation with the + operator here.

With that, your sentence analyzer project is done!

--hints--

You should create a wordCount variable.

js
assert.isNotNull(wordCount)

Your wordCount variable should be set to the result of getWordCount("I love freeCodeCamp").

js
assert.equal(wordCount, getWordCount("I love freeCodeCamp"));

You should log the wordCount variable to the console with the parameter "Word Count: ${wordCount}".

js
assert.match(code, /console\.log\((?:('|"|`)Word\s+Count:\s+('|"|`)\s+\+\s+wordCount|`Word\s+Count:\s+\${wordCount}`)\);?/)

  return count;

const vowelCount = getVowelCount("Apples are tasty fruits");
console.log(`Vowel Count: ${vowelCount}`);

function getConsonantCount(sentence) {
  const consonants = "bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyz";
