Task 146

Hello, i get 2 error with this task:
2.checkSpam should return true if the match is found
4.checkSpam should make case insensitive match

even if the result is correct (false and true).
I've tried 2 different functions:
1)

export const checkSpam = (text, spamKeywords) => {
    const s = text.toLowerCase();
    for (let i = 0; i < spamKeywords.length; i++) {
        let substring = spamKeywords[i].toLowerCase();
        if (s.indexOf(substring) != -1) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}`

2)
`export const checkSpam = (text, spamKeywords) => {
    const s = text.toLowerCase();
    for (let i = 0; i < spamKeywords.length; i++) {
        return s.includes(spamKeywords[i]);
    }
}

but the result is always the same (correct for the result task but with 2 errors).
What i'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Never mind, i forgot to put an if case to test if the inclued func was actually true befor returning true, and then after the for loop i return false in case there is no match and the for loop just stop.

sriramj First of all spamKeywords is an array, so you can't just say spamKeywords.toLowerCase(), you should access the individual elements of that array.
