- What is the difference between “*” and “+”?
“*” will match the character zero or more times whereas “+” will match one or more times. For example, “\d*” regular expression will return the following results for:- 2b – will match “2b”
- 3ab – will match “b” (since digit character is optional)
Now consider “\d+” regular expression:
- 2b – will still match “2b”
- 3ab – will not return any match as “+” required one or more times matches.
