Does anyone know the problem with this code? It's supposed to replace the Agent names with (Initial)****.

Question

import re
agentRegex = re.compile(r'Agent (/w)/w*')
mo = agentRegex.sub(r'\1****', 'Agent Alice knew that Agent Bob told Agent Carol that Agent Eve was a double agent.')
print(mo)

Answer 1

re is what you import to use regexes (short for regular expressions). It's part of the lessons in the app.

Answer 2

sorry but I got a question too, can someone explain what is re 😓 ?

Answer 3

Wait i fixed it. Its \w, not /w
