## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
The challenges so far have covered matching letters of the alphabet and numbers. You can also match the whitespace or spaces between letters.
|
|
You can search for whitespace using <code>\s</code>, which is a lowercase <code>s</code>. This pattern not only matches whitespace, but also carriage return, tab, form feed, and new line characters. You can think of it as similar to the character class <code>[ \r\t\f\n\v]</code>.
|
|
<blockquote>let whiteSpace = "Whitespace. Whitespace everywhere!"<br>let spaceRegex = /\s/g;<br>whiteSpace.match(spaceRegex);<br>// Returns [" ", " "]<br></blockquote>

## Tests

|
|
|
```yml
|
|
tests:
|
|
- text: Your regex should use the global flag.
|
|
testString: assert(countWhiteSpace.global, 'Your regex should use the global flag.');
|
|
- text: Your regex should use the shorthand character
|
|
testString: assert(/\\s/.test(countWhiteSpace.source), 'Your regex should use the shorthand character <code>\s</code> to match all whitespace characters.');
|
|
- text: Your regex should find eight spaces in <code>"Men are from Mars and women are from Venus."</code>
|
|
testString: assert("Men are from Mars and women are from Venus.".match(countWhiteSpace).length == 8, 'Your regex should find eight spaces in <code>"Men are from Mars and women are from Venus."</code>');
|
|
- text: 'Your regex should find three spaces in <code>"Space: the final frontier."</code>'
|
|
testString: 'assert("Space: the final frontier.".match(countWhiteSpace).length == 3, ''Your regex should find three spaces in <code>"Space: the final frontier."</code>'');'
|
|
- text: Your regex should find no spaces in <code>"MindYourPersonalSpace"</code>
|
|
testString: assert("MindYourPersonalSpace".match(countWhiteSpace) == null, 'Your regex should find no spaces in <code>"MindYourPersonalSpace"</code>');
