Sorry Gordon,

Found another bug.

'HELLO'.slpit('');

returns:
=[
"HELLO"
]

Should return:

["H", "E", "L", "L", "O"]

For me it's ok because you do not have the " separator in the 'HELLO' string so you get the same string as the result.

No, that's an empty string. A " separator would be '"' (a double quote enclosed in single quotes)

Correct behavior is to split a word up into letters like Sacha said - try it in any js console.

'HELLO'.split('');
["H", "E", "L", "L", "O"]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/split

Syntax

str.split([separator][, limit])

Parameters

separator
Specifies the character(s) to use for separating the string. The separator is treated as a string or a regular expression. If separator is omitted, the array returned contains one element consisting of the entire string. If separator is an empty string, str is converted to an array of characters.

So you are right.

Also

"""
"HELLO".split();
=["", "H", "E", "L", "L", "O"]
//["HELLO"] expected
'''"
