Im really neading for help guys, plz

Question

Can anybody explain me how the coding below outputs ananac?

import re
a = "applebananacocoa"
b = re.match('^a[a-p]*leb([a-n]*)',a)
print(b.group(1))

Answer 1

[a-p]* match 0 or more characters that is between a to p.
([a-n]*) match 0 or more characters that is between a to n. And it's grouped by parentheses.

a [a-p]* leb ([a-n]*)
a pp leb ananac

Regex is matched and ananac is grouped.

Answer 2

It prints the first group of the regex match.

A group is the match that is quoted with parentheses.

Answer 3

Can you also explain what print(b.group(1)) is?

Answer 4

Thanks alot! Have a nice day
