To fix the problem, we need to ensure that all occurrences of the asterisk (*) in the without string are replaced. This can be achieved by using a regular expression with the global flag (g). This way, the replace method will replace all instances of the asterisk in the string.
The specific change required is to modify the replace method call on line 28 to use a regular expression with the global flag.
