Oh boy what a beautiful regex. I'm sure it does something logical and easy to understand.
(lemmy.world)
^.?$|^(..+?)\1+$
Matches strings of any character repeated a non-prime number of times
Is there a reason to use
(..+?)instead of(.+)?Yes, the first one matches only 2 more characters while the second matches 1 or more. Also the +? is a lazy quantifier so it will consume as little as possible.
Ah, didn't know +? was lazy, thanks
I thought, the +? was going to be a syntax error. 🙃
I was like, why specify "one or more" and then make it optional? Isn't that just .*?
