Plain-English breakdown
How the math works
Matching uses the native JavaScript RegExp engine. The explainer walks the pattern token-by-token: character classes (\\w \\d \\s), quantifiers (* + ? {n,m}), anchors (^ $ \\b), groups, alternation and common escapes.
Bad patterns are reported instead of crashing. Use the g flag to find all matches; i for case insensitive.
