Tell us what’s happening:
I’m on the Regxr.com site and I cannot understand why the * symbol works the way it does in this example:
b\w*
b be bee beer beers
The example highlights all the characters. I don’t understand why the Regexr even looks at the letter “e” when the equation shows the “b”. So is it doing an equation for after “b”.
Your code so far
let hello = " Hello, World! ";
let wsRegex = /^(\s+)(\s+$)/; // Change this line
let result = hello.replace(wsRegex, ''); // Change this line
