The replace()
method in JavaScript is used to search a string for a specified pattern, and replace the pattern with a specified replacement string. This method takes two arguments: the pattern to search for, and the replacement string. If the pattern is found, the replace()
method returns a new string with the pattern replaced by the replacement string. If the pattern is not found, the replace()
method returns the original string.
Here is an example of how the replace()
method works:
const string1 = 'Hello, world!';
const result = string1.replace('world', 'moon');
// the result will be: 'Hello, moon!'
In the code example above, we first declare a string called string1
that contains the text Hello, world!
. We then use the replace()
method to search the string1
string for the pattern world
, and replace it with the string moon
. The replace()
method takes two arguments: the pattern to search for, and the replacement string. In this case, we pass in the string world
as the first argument, and the string moon
as the second argument to the replace()
method.
As a result of calling the replace()
method, the result
variable will be set to 'Hello, moon!'
, which is the string1
string with the pattern world
replaced by the replacement string moon
. If the replace()
method was called with a pattern that was not found in the string1
string, the result
variable would be set to the original string1
string.
