hi, okay doing step 30. now trying to do the regex boundry words. but it is not passing, what regex for the boundry is free code camp vallidator looking for. will post my code and the error messages and will format it properly.

doing this now.

javascript:

const helpRegex = /\bhelp\b/i;

const dollarRegex = /\b[0-9]+\s*(hundred|thousand|million|billion)?\s+dollars\b/i;

const freeRegex = /\bfr[e3][e3] m[o0]n[e3]y\b/i;

const stockRegex = /(?:\s|^)(?:[s5][t7][o0][c{[(]k)(?:\s|$)/i;

const denyList = [helpRegex, dollarRegex, freeRegex, stockRegex];

function isSpam(message) {

for (let i = 0; i < denyList.length; i++) {

if (denyList\[i\].test(message)) {

  return true;

}

}

return false;

}

const testMessages = [

“Can you help me?”,

“I just won 1000 dollars!”,

“Get free money now”,

“Check out this stock tip”,

“Hello friend”

test messages:

];

test messages:

// running tests
3. Your stockRegex should use a second non-capturing group.
10. Your stockRegex should not match stock alert-management.
// tests completed

testMessages.forEach(msg => {

isSpam(msg);

});

please do not add other stuff inside the code, it makes it impossible to know the correct flow
