Just a coder and a dad. I love my family and I love to code!!!! started coding at 11, so I have 25 years under my belt. Still love learning about it every day. Black lives matter!
Aw! you're so right! I should have used test vs match, also I should have added in $ for an exact match. I'll update this! Part of the fun was to show people they can resort to regex when doing multiple test against a single variable. If it was another scenario of checking the domain against lets say 3 or more possible values, then regex is a quick way to solve this.
You're welcome. I'm usually rather eager to solve things with regex myself. So I usually think again: "will a regex make that code better?" and try it without the regex. In ~50% of the cases, I keep the regex. For the sake of having an example, I feel it's justified. For live code, I would have removed it.

Thank you for the great feed back.

I like your clear view on this. I agree that the regex is over kill when we are only checking two values.
