Hello, freeCodeCampers!

I’m really stuck on this function here. I’m supposed to make sure that it removes all special characters, but not whitespaces. What do I do?

function removeSpecialChars(string) {
  let regex = /^[a-z][A-Z][0-9 ]/g; 
  
  let newString = string.replace(regex, '')
  console.log(newString)
}
console.log(removeSpecialChars("@%#*()!#("))

I guess the tests are testing the output of your function, which is undefined right now

Okay, I’ll remember that next time.

In the meantime, I’m unsure what this output actually means.

what does your function return? have you written the code to determine that?

Wait a second…
I realized that I had done the function wrong. It was supposed to RETURN the string, not log the string to the console. Thanks for all your help, anyway!
