/* 
8 kyu - Abbreviate a Two Word Name

Instructions
Write a function to convert a name into initials. This kata strictly takes two words with one space in between them.

The output should be two capital letters with a dot separating them.

It should look like this:

Sam Harris => S.H

patrick feeney => P.F

Psuedo Code:
split string into two with .split() and return the first character of each string with .toUppercase 
*/

// This is my solution and it works with all test cases in the console, but not on Codewars... okay- It didn't work because you have console.log() instead of a return statement, and because you lacked .toUpperCase() for the test with a lower case name. Details. 

function abbrevName(name){
    const splitName = name.split(' ');
    const lastName = splitName[1];
    return(`${name.charAt(0)}.${lastName.charAt(0)}`.toUpperCase());
    }
    
    // Note also that if you want to access the characters of different words in an array that's split, or one where each element is a single word, you can do so with the following syntax:
    
    splitName[0][0]; /*this would mean index zero of the array, and then index 0 of that element's string. Note with numbers you may have to use toString() etc. 
    
    Thus the previous code could be refactored as follows:
    */
    function abbrevName(name){
      
    const splitName = name.split(' ');
    return(`${splitName[0][0]}.${splitName[1][0]}`.toUpperCase());
    }
