587d7db9367417b2b2512ba5	Specify Upper and Lower Number of Matches	1

Description

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 quantity specifiers. 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); // Returns true
multipleA.test(A2); // Returns false

Instructions

Change the regex ohRegex to match only 3 to 6 letter h's in the word "Oh no".

Tests

tests:
  - text: Your regex should use curly brackets.
    testString: assert(ohRegex.source.match(/{.*?}/).length > 0, 'Your regex should use curly brackets.');
  - text: Your regex should not match <code>"Ohh no"</code>
    testString: assert(!ohRegex.test("Ohh no"), 'Your regex should not match <code>"Ohh no"</code>');
  - text: Your regex should match <code>"Ohhh no"</code>
    testString: assert(ohRegex.test("Ohhh no"), 'Your regex should match <code>"Ohhh no"</code>');
  - text: Your regex should match <code>"Ohhhh no"</code>
    testString: assert(ohRegex.test("Ohhhh no"), 'Your regex should match <code>"Ohhhh no"</code>');
  - text: Your regex should match <code>"Ohhhhh no"</code>
    testString: assert(ohRegex.test("Ohhhhh no"), 'Your regex should match <code>"Ohhhhh no"</code>');
  - text: Your regex should match <code>"Ohhhhhh no"</code>
    testString: assert(ohRegex.test("Ohhhhhh no"), 'Your regex should match <code>"Ohhhhhh no"</code>');
  - text: Your regex should not match <code>"Ohhhhhhh no"</code>
    testString: assert(!ohRegex.test("Ohhhhhhh no"), 'Your regex should not match <code>"Ohhhhhhh no"</code>');

let ohStr = "Ohhh no";
let ohRegex = /change/; // Change this line
let result = ohRegex.test(ohStr);
