# --description--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sometimes we want to check for groups of characters using a Regular Expression and to achieve that we use parentheses `()`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to find either `Penguin` or `Pumpkin` in a string, you can use the following Regular Expression: `/P(engu|umpk)in/g`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then check whether the desired string groups are in the test string by using the `test()` method.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
let testStr = "Pumpkin";
|
||
|
|
let testRegex = /P(engu|umpk)in/;
|
||
|
|
testRegex.test(testStr);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `test` method here would return `true`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# --instructions--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fix the regex so that it checks for the names of `Franklin Roosevelt` or `Eleanor Roosevelt` in a case sensitive manner and it should make concessions for middle names.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then fix the code so that the regex that you have created is checked against `myString` and either `true` or `false` is returned depending on whether the regex matches.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# --hints--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your regex `myRegex` should return `true` for the string `Franklin D. Roosevelt`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
myRegex.lastIndex = 0;
|
||
|
|
assert(myRegex.test('Franklin D. Roosevelt'));
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your regex `myRegex` should return `true` for the string `Eleanor Roosevelt`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
myRegex.lastIndex = 0;
|
||
|
|
assert(myRegex.test('Eleanor Roosevelt'));
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your regex `myRegex` should return `false` for the string `Franklin Rosevelt`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
myRegex.lastIndex = 0;
|
||
|
|
assert(!myRegex.test('Franklin Rosevelt'));
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your regex `myRegex` should return `false` for the string `Frank Roosevelt`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
myRegex.lastIndex = 0;
|
||
|
|
assert(!myRegex.test('Frank Roosevelt'));
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should use `.test()` to test the regex.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
assert(code.match(/myRegex.test\(\s*myString\s*\)/));
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your result should return `true`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
assert(result === true);
|
||
|
|
```
|

|

|
||
|
|
// After passing the challenge experiment with myString and see how the grouping works
