Step 23

While looping through the string works, creating a new array is inefficient for memory and runtime performance. Instead, you can use Regular Expressions (referred to as “regex”) to match specific characters.

Regex in JavaScript is indicated by a pattern wrapped in forward slashes – for example:

const regex = /hello/;

Remove your existing code within the cleanInputString function. Declare a regex variable and assign it the value from the example above.
