Hi, I think you used "replace method " twice,
if you want to do like this

const newRegex = str.replace(/+ -/g, " ");

You can make it like this

const newRegex = str.replace(/[+-\s]/g, "");   //[+-\s]/g  means + and - and white space

and the third row you typed should be like this:

return newRegex;

I am new one here, so I just discuss that this problem, but if you want a really correct answer, here is below:

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