Task 154

Jesse

I am having trouble with this and am unsure of how to solve the issue, could you point me in the right direction?

  return (s) => {
    return s.length > 1
  } 
} ```

When I submit I get the following feedback:

3. A closure returned by startsWith(start) should return false if the analyzed string doesn't start with start

So I tried 
```export const startsWith = (start) => {
  return (s) => {
    if (s.length > 1) {
      return true;
    }
    return false;
  } 
}```

However I get the same response. I've read documentation on closure functions and am still struggling so any help in pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried this also

export const startsWith = (start) => {
    return (s) => {
      return s.length > start;
    }
  }

And now I get this feedback "2. A closure returned by startsWith(start) should return true if the string starts with start" 1 and 3 comeback in green... I know I'm missing a trick somewhere

Jesse every string has a built-in function startsWith. Use it instead of trying to do something with the string length.
