--- id: 6449849b78f43527be1e8a98 title: Step 36 challengeType: 0 dashedName: step-36 --- # --description-- You need to be able to match cell ranges in a formula. Cell ranges can look like `A1:B12` or `A3:A25`. You can use a regular expression to match these patterns. Start by declaring a `rangeRegex` variable and assign it a regular expression that matches `A` through `J` (the range of columns in your spreadsheet). Use a capture group with a character class to achieve this. # --hints-- You should declare a `rangeRegex` variable after your `idToText` function. ```js assert.match(code, /const\s+evalFormula\s*=\s*\(\s*x\s*,\s*cells\s*\)\s*=>\s*{\s*const\s+idToText\s*=\s*(\(\s*id\s*\)|id)\s*=>\s*cells\.find\(\s*(\(\s*cell\s*\)|cell)\s*=>\s*(?:cell\.id\s*===\s*id|id\s*===\s*cell\.id)\s*\)\.value\s*;?\s*(?:var|let|const)\s+rangeRegex/); ``` You should use `const` to declare your `rangeRegex` variable. ```js assert.match(code, /const\s+evalFormula\s*=\s*\(\s*x\s*,\s*cells\s*\)\s*=>\s*{\s*const\s+idToText\s*=\s*(\(\s*id\s*\)|id)\s*=>\s*cells\.find\(\s*(\(\s*cell\s*\)|cell)\s*=>\s*(?:cell\.id\s*===\s*id|id\s*===\s*cell\.id)\s*\)\.value\s*;?\s*const\s+rangeRegex/); ``` Your `rangeRegex` variable should be a regular expression. ```js assert.match(code, /const\s+evalFormula\s*=\s*\(\s*x\s*,\s*cells\s*\)\s*=>\s*{\s*const\s+idToText\s*=\s*(\(\s*id\s*\)|id)\s*=>\s*cells\.find\(\s*(\(\s*cell\s*\)|cell)\s*=>\s*(?:cell\.id\s*===\s*id|id\s*===\s*cell\.id)\s*\)\.value\s*;?\s*const\s+rangeRegex\s*=\s*\/.*\/\s*;?/); ``` Your `rangeRegex` should use a capture group. ```js assert.match(code, /const\s+evalFormula\s*=\s*\(\s*x\s*,\s*cells\s*\)\s*=>\s*{\s*const\s+idToText\s*=\s*(\(\s*id\s*\)|id)\s*=>\s*cells\.find\(\s*(\(\s*cell\s*\)|cell)\s*=>\s*(?:cell\.id\s*===\s*id|id\s*===\s*cell\.id)\s*\)\.value\s*;?\s*const\s+rangeRegex\s*=\s*\/\(.*\)\/\s*;?/); ``` Your `rangeRegex` should use a character class in the capture group. ```js assert.match(code, /const\s+evalFormula\s*=\s*\(\s*x\s*,\s*cells\s*\)\s*=>\s*{\s*const\s+idToText\s*=\s*(\(\s*id\s*\)|id)\s*=>\s*cells\.find\(\s*(\(\s*cell\s*\)|cell)\s*=>\s*(?:cell\.id\s*===\s*id|id\s*===\s*cell\.id)\s*\)\.value\s*;?\s*const\s+rangeRegex\s*=\s*\/\(\[.*\]\)\/\s*;?/); ``` Your `rangeRegex` should use a character class to match `A` through `J`. ```js assert.match(code, /const\s+evalFormula\s*=\s*\(\s*x\s*,\s*cells\s*\)\s*=>\s*{\s*const\s+idToText\s*=\s*(\(\s*id\s*\)|id)\s*=>\s*cells\.find\(\s*(\(\s*cell\s*\)|cell)\s*=>\s*(?:cell\.id\s*===\s*id|id\s*===\s*cell\.id)\s*\)\.value\s*;?\s*const\s+rangeRegex\s*=\s*\/\(\[A-J\]\)\/\s*;?/); ``` # --seed-- ## --seed-contents-- ```html Functional Programming Spreadsheet
