You’re going to have to be more specific about what you mean about the “whole thing”. In general, very specific questions get better answers, both in quality and quantity.

This is a regex that checks whether there exists a letter or underscore, followed by a number.

PS because it’s made up of only lookahead assertions, when passed to the string method match(), a successful match will return an empty string i.e. "".
