Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between capturing and non-capturing groups?
Capturing groups (abc) store the matched substring in memory for backreferences and match extraction. Non-capturing groups (?:abc) group expressions logically without memory overhead.
What are positive and negative lookaheads?
Lookaheads assert whether a pattern is followed by specific characters without including those characters in the final match result.
