Title Case a Sentence Solution 3

JavaScript

Can someone explain to me why this solution works. “L” is never defined. At what point is it understood that L == first letter?

      function titleCase(str) {
  return str.toLowerCase().replace(/(^|\s)\S/g, L => L.toUpperCase());
}


function titleCase(str) {
return str.toLowerCase().replace(/(^|\s)\S/g, word => word.toUpperCase());
}

console.log (titleCase("I'm a little tea pot"));

L is the parameter to the callback “replacement” function which .replace accepts as the second argument.

You can check the MDN docs for examples of how it works.
