Yea.. Can't get this to work..

Q: Given 2 strings, a and b, return a string of the form short+long+short, with the shorter string on the outside and the longer string on the inside. The strings will not be the same length, but they may be empty (length0).

My Answer:

  function solution(a, b){
    if(typeof(undefined) == typeof(a))
      a = "";
    if(typeof(undefined) == typeof(b))
      b = "";

    if(a.length > b.length)
      return b + a + b;
    else
      return a + b + a;
  }

Result: "Unknown Error"

Of course my solution doesn't account for a.length == b.length, but the question is somewhat nonsensical in that it states '...strings will not be the same length, but they may be empty...' (2 empty strings would be the same length)...
