Match Whitespace

Match Whitespace

To finish this challenge, it's necessary to use the /s character class in your regexp pattern.

\s matches a single white space character. (including space, tab, form feed, line feed and other Unicode spaces.

For example:

/\s\w*/ 
// matches " bar" in "foo bar".

important: Characters are case sensitive in regexp. \S matches a single character other than white space.

Spoiiler Alert: Solution ahead

let sample = "Whitespace is important in separating words";
let countWhiteSpace = /\s/g; // Change this line
let result = sample.match(countWhiteSpace);
