Tell us what’s happening:

What is the problem here
function cleanInputString(str) { const regex = /[+-\s]/g; "+-".replace(/+-/g, ""); }
Error says cleanInputString should call the replace method of str

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->


/* file: script.js */
// User Editable Region

function cleanInputString(str) {
  const regex = /[+-\s]/g;
  "+-".replace(/+-/g, "");
}

// User Editable Region

/* file: styles.css */

Hi. Values are passed into the function by parameters, str is a parameter. It’s a type of variable. The value that will be represented by str will be passed into the function. Perform the replace method on that variable. If you notice the regex variable has the values of +, - and space so you can use that instread of writing them out manually. You have the replacement value of empty string correct. It also says to return the value, so put return in front.

By writing this, you’re replacing the ‘str’ parameter with an empty string. And at the same time you’re returning the ‘str’ statement within the function

Happy coding!!

hi @Abdulhamidsalisu

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.
