# Spoiler Alert!! Solution Ahead!
## Solution
```
javascript
let sample = "Whitespace is important in separating words";
let countNonWhiteSpace = /\S/g; // Change this line
let result = sample.match(countNonWhiteSpace);
## Explanation
* The `\S` shorthand character is a shortcut for non-whitespace. The regular expresssion returns the number of characters that match it.
