# --description--
|
|
|
|
The last challenge showed how to search for digits using the shortcut `\d` with a lowercase `d`. You can also search for non-digits using a similar shortcut that uses an uppercase `D` instead.
|
|
|
|
The shortcut to look for non-digit characters is `\D`. This is equal to the character class `[^0-9]`, which looks for a single character that is not a number between zero and nine.
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
Use the shorthand character class for non-digits `\D` to count how many non-digits are in movie titles.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
Your regex should use the shortcut character to match non-digit characters
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(/\\D/.test(noNumRegex.source));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your regex should use the global flag.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(noNumRegex.global);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your regex should find no non-digits in `"9"`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert('9'.match(noNumRegex) == null);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your regex should find 6 non-digits in `"Catch 22"`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert('Catch 22'.match(noNumRegex).length == 6);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your regex should find 11 non-digits in `"101 Dalmatians"`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert('101 Dalmatians'.match(noNumRegex).length == 11);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your regex should find 15 non-digits in `"One, Two, Three"`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert('One, Two, Three'.match(noNumRegex).length == 15);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your regex should find 12 non-digits in `"21 Jump Street"`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert('21 Jump Street'.match(noNumRegex).length == 12);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your regex should find 17 non-digits in `"2001: A Space Odyssey"`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert('2001: A Space Odyssey'.match(noNumRegex).length == 17);
|
|
```
