Javascript Property

[board0612003216]

Hi Everyone!

I just started to learn Javascript and I am now on the chapter of Introduction of Javascript “Properties .length”. I did the assignment as I learned and it’s correct, but I get confused why the number of characters and the result are not similar, but somehow, I got the assignment correct.

Here is the link: Learn JavaScript | Codecademy

my assignment is as followed:

The number of characters are 25, but the result is 30 and it’s correct. Shouldn’t the output be 25 as the number of characters are 25?

Thank you in advance

Whitespace is also a character. There are 6 words in the string with each word separated by a space. Consequently, there are 5 spaces.

console.log("".length);
// 0

console.log(" ".length);
// 1
