Study Notes
Regular Expressions Operators
- The
|operator is used to specify alternatives or alternation between two patterns.
Repetition
- The
*symbol is used to specify zero or more repetitions of a pattern. - The
+symbol represents one or more repetitions of a pattern.
Line Anchors
- The
^character represents the start of a line. - The
$character represents the end of a line.
Grouping and Capturing
- Parentheses
()are used to group patterns, capture groups, and specify the order of operations.
Pattern Matching
- To represent the language of all words over the Latin alphabet containing the substring 'the', the regular expression would be
[a-zA-Z]*the[a-zA-Z]*.
Concatenation
- The
.symbol represents concatenation or the "any character" wildcard. - When combining two regular expressions
R1andR2,R1R2represents the concatenation of the two patterns.
Capturing and Grouping
- Parentheses
()are typically used to capture groups, specify the order of operations, and group patterns.
