 ## What Is a Regex?
 * A regex, which is short for regular expression, is a sequence of characters that defines a specific search pattern. When included in code or search algorithms, regular expressions can be used to find certain patterns of characters within a string, or to find and replace a character or sequence of characters within a string. They are also frequently used to validate input.

+The forward slashes / denote the beginning and the end of a regex expression and will define a search pattern within JavaScript. Let's focus on the values between the forward slashes. 
+^ symbol. For this hex value, the carat ^ indicates the start of the string or line. 
+
+# symbol. The # sign is a token that matches a # character. (character code 35)
+? symbol. This question mark (?) matches a number between 0 and 1 of the preceding token, which is #. 
+() The parentheses groups multiple expressions together so as to extract a substring or use a back reference. 
+[] Within the parentheses, there are square brackets. The square brackets contain a range of numbers (a-f) and/or case-sensitive letters (0-9). The brackets will match any single character in this range.
+- The hyphen represents a range of letters or numbers in a square bracket.
+{} The curly braces (in this particular case with the hex value) contain one number. This digit {n} indicates that that value inside the brackets [] occurs or matches exactly n times. 
+| The pipe symbol stands for alternation. It behaves like a boolean (values of true or false). It matches the expression before or after the | symbol.
+$ The dollar sign means "end." It matches the end of the string, in this case.
