How do you figure it is [0, 1] and not [0, 1)?

// Thirdly, Math.floor() rounds down and returns the largest integer less than or equal to a given number
// Finally, it adds 1

That still does not indicate how many function calls? And the answer is not 3.


// b) Run the code and identify the line where the error is coming from - why is this error occurring? How can you fix this problem?
// It's missing a comma between the arguments at line 5 in replaceAll() method
