title: Match All Numbers

## Description
<section id='description'>
You've learned shortcuts for common string patterns like alphanumerics. Another common pattern is looking for just digits or numbers.
The shortcut to look for digit characters is <code>\d</code>, with a lowercase <code>d</code>. This is equal to the character class <code>[0-9]</code>, which looks for a single character of any number between zero and nine.
</section>

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Use the shorthand character class <code>\d</code> to count how many digits are in movie titles. Written out numbers ("six" instead of 6) do not count.

## Tests

```yml
tests:
  - text: Your regex should use the shortcut character to match digit characters
    testString: assert(/\\d/.test(numRegex.source));
  - text: Your regex should use the global flag.
    testString: assert(numRegex.global);
  - text: Your regex should find 1 digit in <code>"9"</code>.
    testString: assert("9".match(numRegex).length == 1);
  - text: Your regex should find 2 digits in <code>"Catch 22"</code>.
    testString: assert("Catch 22".match(numRegex).length == 2);
  - text: Your regex should find 3 digits in <code>"101 Dalmatians"</code>.
    testString: assert("101 Dalmatians".match(numRegex).length == 3);
  - text: Your regex should find no digits in <code>"One, Two, Three"</code>.
    testString: assert("One, Two, Three".match(numRegex) == null);
  - text: Your regex should find 2 digits in <code>"21 Jump Street"</code>.
    testString: assert("21 Jump Street".match(numRegex).length == 2);
  - text: 'Your regex should find 4 digits in <code>"2001: A Space Odyssey"</code>.'
    testString: 'assert("2001: A Space Odyssey".match(numRegex).length == 4);'
