--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

assert(/\\D/.test(noNumRegex.source));

Your regex should use the global flag.

assert(noNumRegex.global);

Your regex should find no non-digits in the string 9.

assert('9'.match(noNumRegex) == null);

Your regex should find 6 non-digits in the string Catch 22.

assert('Catch 22'.match(noNumRegex).length == 6);

Your regex should find 11 non-digits in the string 101 Dalmatians.

assert('101 Dalmatians'.match(noNumRegex).length == 11);

Your regex should find 15 non-digits in the string One, Two, Three.

assert('One, Two, Three'.match(noNumRegex).length == 15);

Your regex should find 12 non-digits in the string 21 Jump Street.

assert('21 Jump Street'.match(noNumRegex).length == 12);

Your regex should find 17 non-digits in the string 2001: A Space Odyssey.

assert('2001: A Space Odyssey'.match(noNumRegex).length == 17);
