17. Greediness and backtracking - continued
- The answer is nothing!
- Remember that "*" can match zero or more times, so it tries to match "[0-9]"
zero or more times, and guess what? Zero times works! So it's done right
there, and successfully matches nothing (which isn't the same thing as not matching!)
- There is no matching to the end and backtracking going on. So be careful!
