Answer 1

Quoting from https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_replace.asp

"Definition and Usage
The replace() method searches a string for a specified value, or a regular expression, and returns a new string where the specified values are replaced."

The method returns a modified copy of the calling object data.
