This tutorial introduces JavaScript regular expressions, explaining their syntax and usefulness. It covers creating regex using forward slashes and demonstrates various JavaScript functions like exec, test, match, search, and replace. The tutorial also explains the use of flags for global and case-insensitive searches, providing examples to illustrate these concepts.
