Match Everything But Letters and Numbers

Match Everything But Letters and Numbers

To finish this challenge, it's necessary to use character classes.

The \W matches any character that is not a word character from the basic Latin alphabet. Equivalent to [^A-Za-z0-9]._

For example, /\W/ or /[^A-Za-z0-9_]/ matches "%" in "50%".

Spoiiler Alert: Solution ahead

let quoteSample = "The five boxing wizards jump quickly.";
let nonAlphabetRegex = /\W/g; // Change this line
let result = quoteSample.match(nonAlphabetRegex).length;
