How to use javascript string.replace

Question

I am trying to replace:

The quick fox jumped over "tree"

with:

The quick fox jumped over "wall"

I have tried this:

var str = 'The quick fox jumped over "tree"';
          str.replace(/"tree"/g, '"wall"');

Replace is not happening. Please help

You just need to save your string after you replace it.

var str = 'The quick fox jumped over "tree"'; 
str = str.replace('"tree"', '"wall"');
console.log(str);
