Tell us what’s happening:
my code should mean:
- Find a 1 or more digits followed by a space
- Repeat (1.) 2 times
The above interpretation is not right and i do not get it (i mean why it is wrong?).
Your code so far
let repeatNum = "42 42 42";
let reRegex = /(\d+\s)\2/; // Change this line
let result = reRegex.test(repeatNum);
console.log(result);
Second i do not understand the last two hints in the lessons; speaking specifically.
Number 2:
let testString = "test test test";
let reRegex = /(test)(\s)\1\2\1/;
let result = reRegex.test(testString);
I do not understand specifically \1
& \2
& \1\
& finally why did he use global?
Number 3:
let testString = "test test test test test test";
let reRegex = /(test)(\s)\1\2\1/g;
let result = reRegex.test(testString);
I do not understand specifically why did he wrote \s\1\s\1$
because (from what i understand) this means 4 spaces at the end.
