Answer 1

You can use includes() like this

function morse() {
if (words.includes("a")) {
code=code+".- ";
};
if (words.includes("b") ){
code=code+"-... ";
};

alert(code);
}

edit:

"abcdefghijk".includes(words)
like this?

Answer 2

Yes but I want it to be if you put in the prompt ab so it will be .- -... (morse code). But it won't show anything.

Why to use loop and includes function when you can use replaceAll function.

words = words.replaceAll("a", ".- ").
replaceAll("b","-... ").
replaceAll("c", "-.-. ");

alert(words);

Answer 7

Check the code again, I added an if statement

Answer 8

Oh yes thanks. But if I want to do the whole alfabet and any letters together I would have to do literally bilions of if statement. Thanks for trying to help though.

Answer 9

Are you trying to convert an input string to morse code?
If yes....just do a "for of" loop on the string.
I'm sure you can use a "switch case" construct on strings in JavaScript, might be a bit tidier.
