--description--

You've learned shortcuts for common string patterns like alphanumerics. Another common pattern is looking for just digits or numbers.

The shortcut to look for digit characters is \d, with a lowercase d. This is equal to the character class [0-9], which looks for a single character of any number between zero and nine.

--instructions--

Use the shorthand character class \d to count how many digits are in movie titles. Written out numbers ("six" instead of 6) do not count.

--hints--

Your regex should use the shortcut character to match digit characters

assert(/\\d/.test(numRegex.source));

Your regex should use the global flag.

assert(numRegex.global);

Your regex should find 1 digit in the string 9.

assert('9'.match(numRegex).length == 1);

Your regex should find 2 digits in the string Catch 22.

assert('Catch 22'.match(numRegex).length == 2);

Your regex should find 3 digits in the string 101 Dalmatians.

assert('101 Dalmatians'.match(numRegex).length == 3);

Your regex should find no digits in the string One, Two, Three.

assert('One, Two, Three'.match(numRegex) == null);

Your regex should find 2 digits in the string 21 Jump Street.

assert('21 Jump Street'.match(numRegex).length == 2);

Your regex should find 4 digits in the string 2001: A Space Odyssey.

assert('2001: A Space Odyssey'.match(numRegex).length == 4);
