Tell us what’s happening:
This question does in fact have the correct answer. However, escaping the backslash from Pythons interpreter to be able to pass the argument to regex w/o conflict or raising a syntax warning, isn’t something that was demonstrated or mentioned during any of the lessons this far. Let alone what it means to escape a character.
Could this question be updated to remove the escaped backslash from the prompt, as to not confuse a student who may not have searched outside of these lessons for deeper knowledge? Or is this a “trim the fat” kind of exercise?
