Javascript : Basic Algorithm Scripting: Truncate a String

Solution in Hint does not work.
Here’s what will pass the test:

function truncateString(str, num) {
var firstPart="";
var truncatedStr="";
if(str.length<=num){
truncatedStr = str;
}else if(str.length>num){
firstPart = str.slice(0, num);
truncatedStr = firstPart+"…";
}else{
truncatedStr = str+"…";
}
return truncatedStr;
}

Plus, really easy to read (for newbies like me).

Yes, the hint is incorrect, it is based on an old version of the problem. The hints aren’t as well maintained as the curriculum.
