Recall that you use the plus sign + to look for one or more characters and the asterisk * 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 <dfn>quantity specifiers</dfn>. Quantity specifiers are used with curly brackets ({ and }). You put two numbers between the curly brackets - for the lower and upper number of patterns.
For example, to match only the letter a appearing between 3 and 5 times in the string ah, your regex would be /a{3,5}h/.
let A4 = "aaaah";
let A2 = "aah";
let multipleA = /a{3,5}h/;
multipleA.test(A4);
multipleA.test(A2);
The first test call would return true, while the second would return false.
Change the regex ohRegex to match the entire phrase Oh no only when it has 3 to 6 letter h's.
Your regex should use curly brackets.
assert(ohRegex.source.match(/{.*?}/).length > 0);
Your regex should not match the string Ohh no
ohRegex.lastIndex = 0;
assert(!ohRegex.test('Ohh no'));
Your regex should match the string Ohhh no
assert('Ohhh no'.match(ohRegex)[0].length === 7);
Your regex should match the string Ohhhh no
assert('Ohhhh no'.match(ohRegex)[0].length === 8);
Your regex should match the string Ohhhhh no
assert('Ohhhhh no'.match(ohRegex)[0].length === 9);
Your regex should match the string Ohhhhhh no
assert('Ohhhhhh no'.match(ohRegex)[0].length === 10);
Your regex should not match the string Ohhhhhhh no
ohRegex.lastIndex = 0;
assert(!ohRegex.test('Ohhhhhhh no'));
let ohStr = "Ohhh no";
let ohRegex = /change/; // Change this line
let result = ohRegex.test(ohStr);
let ohStr = "Ohhh no";
let ohRegex = /Oh{3,6} no/; // Change this line
let result = ohRegex.test(ohStr);
