Thank you very much for your content, you are a good teacher .

For anyone reading this comment section you can also do /<.*?>/ since the wildcard covers [0-9a-z]. Since lazy match finds smallest possible part of the string that satisfies the regex, it will stop at the ">" of the opening tag

Great explanatory video but I have two questions;
1. The solution I got which was validated as correct by freecodecamp was entirely different from yours
/<.1*?>/ this is the solution i was hoping we would arrive at the same solution so that you could explain my solution but would also like an explanation to my solution if that would be possible...
And again freecodecamps solution was /<.*?>/ ..


2. In your solution to this challenge you used capital A to lower case z without the case insensitive

I never understood programming logic,
If we select the number first and then the string, how can we select the letter before the number? There is no understanding of this))
