 You will notice in this exercise that there are multiple tests (see in file `repeatString.spec.js`). Only the first test is currently enabled. So after making sure that this first one passes, enable the others one by one by deleting the `.skip` from the `test.skip()` function.

+## Debugging
+To debug functions, you can run the tests in the Visual Studio Code debugger terminal. You can open this by clicking the "Run and Debug" icon on the left or pressing `ctrl + shift + D`, then clicking JavaScript Debug Terminal. You will be able to set breakpoints as you would in the Chrome DevTools debugger. You can run `npm test exerciseName.spec.js` to then execute your code up until your breakpoint and step through your code as necessary. **NOTE**: To take advantage of the debugger, you **MUST** run the script in the debugger terminal, not the bash or zsh terminal.
