Confused on Specify Upper and Lower Number of Matches

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:

I’m not sure why my code isn’t working— I THINK I’m asking for a pattern that starts with an “o”, then has anywhere from 3-6 "h"s, then a space, then the word “no”.

So far, this DOES match “Ohhh no” and “Ohhhhh no” but not “Ohhhh no” or “Ohhhhhh no”.
Your code so far


let ohStr = "Ohhh no";
let ohRegex = /oh{3,6}\sno/gi; // Change this line
let result = ohRegex.test(ohStr);

Your regex is correct comrade, just remove the g flag and try again.
/oh{3,6}\sno/i
Happy coding.
