What is the difference between \s and \t?

Question

They both seem to work but I have been told you should use both when you\'re forming a RegExp?

Answer 1

\s matches a single whitespace character, which includes spaces, tabs, form feeds, line feeds and other unicode spaces.

\t Matches a single tab.

If you are using \s, you don't need to include \t.
