## Specify Exact Number of Matches ## Specify Exact Number of Matches
This is a stub. <a href='https://github.com/freecodecamp/guides/tree/master/src/pages/certifications/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures/regular-expressions/specify-exact-number-of-matches/index.md' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Help our community expand it</a>. ## The Problem:
<a href='https://github.com/freecodecamp/guides/blob/master/README.md' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>This quick style guide will help ensure your pull request gets accepted</a>. We need to change the regex ```timRegex``` to match the word ```"Timber"``` only when it has four letter ```m```'s.
<!-- The article goes here, in GitHub-flavored Markdown. Feel free to add YouTube videos, images, and CodePen/JSBin embeds --> ## Solution:
```js
let timStr = "Timmmmber";
let timRegex = /Tim{4}ber/; // Change this line
let result = timRegex.test(timStr);
```
## Explanation:
With this regex (```/Tim{4}ber/```) we specify a certain number (```4```) of letter ```m```'s.
