Shouldn't have passed this challenge, but i still did for some off reason

JavaScript
#1

Regular Expressions: Extract Matches

let extractStr = "Extract the word 'coding' from this string.";

let codingRegex = /coding/; // Change this line

let result = extractStr.match('coding'); // Change this line

Should it not be .match(codingRegex)? It still passes the tests even in this method

#2

link to the challenge Learn Regular Expressions: Extract Matches | freeCodeCamp.org

#3

it works because

If [the argument] is a non- RegExp object, it is implicitly converted to a RegExp by using new RegExp(regexp) .

[source]

also none of the tests specifically check the argument of match
