Tell us what’s happening:

I am able to solve all the other objectives but not “sun”

Your code so far


let exampleStr = "Let's have fun with regular expressions!";
let unRegex = /.un/gi; // Change this line
let result = unRegex.test(exampleStr);

Thank you, for bringing this to my attention. I have been looking for this issue. This issue has been mentioned on the GitHub repo.

A quick solution is to remove the g flag at the end of your regex.

But Why is it happening ? only with the “sun”
I don’t think I understand this!

In this case, global is not necessary, but your solution is not incorrect with it; the tests just need to be adjusted slightly, as this was an unexpected bug.
