let username = “JackOfAllTrades”;
let userCheck = /[1][a-z]+\d$|[2]\d\d+$/i; // Change this line
let result = userCheck.test(username);
console.log(result);*

let username = "JackOfAllTrades";
let userCheck = /^[a-z][a-z]+\d*$|^[a-z]\d\d+$/i; // Change this line
let result = userCheck.test(username);
console.log(result);

I’m not sure I know which ‘solution’ you are referring to, but in general * means 0 or more and + means 1 or more

so if I write
a*b that will match
b
ab
aab
aaab

etc

but if I write
a+b it will not match b (but it will match ab etc )
