Bonfire: Truncate a string

Difficulty Level: 1, codeacademy stuff, c’mon

My Solution:

function truncate(str, num) {  // Clear out that junk in your trunk  if (str.length>num) {  str = str.slice(0,num-3) + "...";  }  return str; }

Check to see that the string is, in fact, larger than the allowed number of characters. If this is the case, set str equal to a slice of itself starting at index 0 and ending at the given num minus the three character spaces reserved for the ellipses. Otherwise, return the string as you would normally.
