const capitalizeEveryWord = str =>
  // Use regular expression to match the first letter of each word (\b denotes word boundary)
  // and replace it with its uppercase equivalent
  str.replace(/\b[a-z]/g, char => char.toUpperCase());

// Test the function with a sample string
console.log(capitalizeEveryWord('hello world!')); // Output: "Hello World!"
