title: Match Numbers and Letters of the Alphabet
challengeType: 1

## Description
< section id = 'description' >
Using the hyphen (< code > -< / code > ) to match a range of characters is not limited to letters. It also works to match a range of numbers.
For example, < code > /[0-5]/< / code > matches any number between < code > 0< / code > and < code > 5< / code > , including the < code > 0< / code > and < code > 5< / code > .
Also, it is possible to combine a range of letters and numbers in a single character set.

```js
let jennyStr = "Jenny8675309";
let myRegex = /[a-z0-9]/ig;
// matches all letters and numbers in jennyStr
jennyStr.match(myRegex);
```
