Confirm the Ending - Why won't my code pass tests?

Tell us what’s happening:

Why isn’t my code passing the tests? Any help appreciated. I thought str.length -1 gets the last value in the string.

Your code so far


function confirmEnding(str, target) {
  // "Never give up and good luck will find you."
  // -- Falcor
  let strSplit = str.split(" "); // [B,a,s,t,i,a,n]
  if (strSplit.length -1 === target) {
    return true;
  }else{
    return false;
  }
}

confirmEnding("Bastian", "n");

You are comparing a number with character/s.

So it will probably always false.
