title: Specify Upper and Lower Number of Matches
challengeType: 1
---

## Description
<section id='description'>
Recall that you use the plus sign <code>+</code> to look for one or more characters and the asterisk <code>*</code> to look for zero or more characters. These are convenient but sometimes you want to match a certain range of patterns.
You can specify the lower and upper number of patterns with <code>quantity specifiers</code>. Quantity specifiers are used with curly brackets (<code>{</code> and <code>}</code>). You put two numbers between the curly brackets - for the lower and upper number of patterns.
For example, to match only the letter <code>a</code> appearing between <code>3</code> and <code>5</code> times in the string <code>"ah"</code>, your regex would be <code>/a{3,5}h/</code>.
<blockquote>let A4 = "aaaah";<br>let A2 = "aah";<br>let multipleA = /a{3,5}h/;<br>multipleA.test(A4); // Returns true<br>multipleA.test(A2); // Returns false</blockquote>

```yml
tests:
  - text: Your regex should use curly brackets.
    testString: assert(ohRegex.source.match(/{.*?}/).length > 0, 'Your regex should use curly brackets.');
  - text: Your regex should not match <code>"Ohh no"</code>
    testString: assert(!ohRegex.test("Ohh no"), 'Your regex should not match <code>"Ohh no"</code>');
  - text: Your regex should match <code>"Ohhh no"</code>
    testString: assert(ohRegex.test("Ohhh no"), 'Your regex should match <code>"Ohhh no"</code>');
  - text: Your regex should match <code>"Ohhhh no"</code>
    testString: assert(ohRegex.test("Ohhhh no"), 'Your regex should match <code>"Ohhhh no"</code>');
  - text: Your regex should match <code>"Ohhhhh no"</code>
    testString: assert(ohRegex.test("Ohhhhh no"), 'Your regex should match <code>"Ohhhhh no"</code>');
  - text: Your regex should match <code>"Ohhhhhh no"</code>
    testString: assert(ohRegex.test("Ohhhhhh no"), 'Your regex should match <code>"Ohhhhhh no"</code>');
  - text: Your regex should not match <code>"Ohhhhhhh no"</code>
    testString: assert(!ohRegex.test("Ohhhhhhh no"), 'Your regex should not match <code>"Ohhhhhhh no"</code>');
