Extract Matches

Using the match() method, you can extract parts of a string that match with your regular expression. In this challenge, you are extracting the word "coding" from the string provided.

Hint 1:

Change your regex to detect the word "coding".

Hint 2:

Did you call the match() method on the string?

Spoiler Alert - Solution Ahead!

Solution:

let extractStr = "Extract the word 'coding' from this string.";
let codingRegex = /coding/; 
let result = extractStr.match(codingRegex);
