+
character to check if that is the case. Remember, the character or pattern has to be present consecutively. That is, the character has to repeat one after the other.
For example, /a+/g
would find one match in "abc"
and return ["a"]
. Because of the +
, it would also find a single match in "aabc"
and return ["aa"]
.
If it were instead checking the string "abab"
, it would find two matches and return ["a", "a"]
because the a
characters are not in a row - there is a b
between them. Finally, since there is no "a"
in the string "bcd"
, it wouldn't find a match.
s
occurs one or more times in "Mississippi"
. Write a regex that uses the +
sign.
myRegex
should use the +
sign to match one or more s
characters.
testString: assert(/\+/.test(myRegex.source), 'Your regex myRegex
should use the +
sign to match one or more s
characters.');
- text: Your regex myRegex
should match 2 items.
testString: assert(result.length == 2, 'Your regex myRegex
should match 2 items.');
- text: The result
variable should be an array with two matches of "ss"
testString: assert(result[0] == 'ss' && result[1] == 'ss', 'The result
variable should be an array with two matches of "ss"
');
