Tell us what’s happening:
In this exercise criteria: “Use lookaheads in the pwRegex to match passwords that are greater than 5 characters long and have two consecutive digits.”
The hint has the solution with a 5, should the solution contain a 6 since the match happens at greater than 5?
let pwRegex = /(?=\w{6,})(?=\D*\d{2})/; instead of
let pwRegex = /(?=\w{5,})(?=\D*\d{2})/;
I checked MDN, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions
{n , m} Where n and m are positive integers and n <= m . Matches at least n and at most m occurrences of the preceding expression. When m is omitted, it’s treated as ∞.
As always Thank you for your help.
Your code so far
let sampleWord = "astronaut";
let pwRegex = /(?=\w{6,})(?=\d{2})/; // Change this line
let result = pwRegex.test(sampleWord);
