JS RegExp Quantifiers

Quantifiers say how many times a pattern may repeat. A brace range can constrain the length of a code.

Where to run this

This example uses the JavaScript console playground. Select Run to execute it; the example does not run on this lesson page.

A practical example

JavaScript

const code = /^[A-Z]{2,4}$/;
console.log(code.test("DIY"));
console.log(code.test("WORKSHOP"));

What happens

DIY fits the range, but WORKSHOP is too long.
