Truncate with an ellipsis in TypeScript
TypeScript interview exercise on Strings, difficulty 1 of 3. Solve it in the editor beside a worked example, or cold in Interview mode with the example hidden; the tests run the moment you do.
Write truncate(str, max) that returns str unchanged if its length is ≤ max, otherwise the first max characters followed by "…" (a single character).
Each exercise pairs a worked example with a twin problem to solve in a real editor; the tests run the moment you do. Interview mode hides the example: solve it from memory, without the hint or the solution, and it counts as solved cold. Progress is saved in your browser, and in your account if you sign in.
