Tell us what’s happening:
Why does oPhrase.match(goRegex); returns Null??
There is an “o” in oPhrase…
Your code so far
let soccerWord = "gooooooooal!";
let gPhrase = "gut feeling";
let oPhrase = "over the moon";
let goRegex = /go*/;
soccerWord.match(goRegex); // Returns ["goooooooo"]
gPhrase.match(goRegex); // Returns ["g"]
oPhrase.match(goRegex); // Returns null

The pattern is /go*/
, that is to say the pattern has a g
followed by 0 or more o
s
There’s no g followed by o
Ok And please in this exercie, where are the other 2 strings quoted??They are not in the instructions…
Your regex should not match any characters in “He made a fair move. Screaming about it can’t help you.”
Your regex should not match any characters in “Let him have it. It’s not wise to upset a Wookiee.”
They are just in the test to make sure you are not just matching an a in the middle of a string
