Compacts whitespaces in a string.

• Use String.prototype.replace() with a regular expression to replace all occurrences of 2 or more whitespace characters with a single space.

const compactWhitespace = str => str.replace(/\s{2,}/g, ' ');

compactWhitespace('Lorem    Ipsum'); // 'Lorem Ipsum'
compactWhitespace('Lorem \n Ipsum'); // 'Lorem Ipsum'
