bite string

you can bite off ANYTHING you want. this language bites off "pizza".

TRANSLATED:

we could write a new bite function, just like last time.

function bitePizza(text) {
	if (text.startsWith("pizza")) {
		return "pizza"
	}
	
	throw new Error(`UNFORTUNATE error: expected 'pizza' but found '${text.slice(0, 5)}'!`)
}

ALTERNATIVELY, we could write a helper function that lets us bite off any string we want.

function biteString(string) {
	return (text) => {
		if (text.startsWith(string)) {
			return string
		}

		throw new Error(`UNFORTUNATE error: expected '${string}' but found '${text.slice(0, string.length)}'!`)
	}
}

now we can use it like this:

const bitePizza = biteString("pizza")

then this:

bitePizza(text)
