[Javascript] How can I count the number of lines present in a given string?

Question

You can count the number of lines by splitting the string with linebreak. Split converts the given string into array of substrings and then by using `.length` which gives you the count of number of lines present in the given string.

```js
 string.split(/
||
/).length
 ```
