Could anyone explain the /^\s+|\s+$/g in detail
I am trying to understand the solution but for some reason I just cannot wrap my head around this one. I would like to know how does the code /^\s+|\s+$/g selects whitespace.

Your code so far


let hello = "   Hello, World!  ";
let wsRegex = /^\s+|\s+$/g; // Change this line
let result = hello.replace(wsRegex,""); // Change this line
console.log(result.split(''))

Could you explain a little more about what you don’t understand?
