If you're using unique names for your variables, this isn't an issue and the var keyword can be omitted.

Currently "newString" is being created in the global (window) scope. I too recommend returning the result of theString.replace instead of creating a single use variable. Keep up the good stuff :) Hi, you’ll need to prefix newString with a var statement within the trimString function. Currently “newString” is being created in the global (window) scope.

The new string var is just a carry-over from the single-line command before being wrapped in a function. @Clint Rutkas:

function trimString(theString) {
return theString.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
}
