JavaScript was developed at the Netscape Communications Corporation in 1995, reportedly by a single programmer in just 10 days. The language, which was called Mocha at the time, was designed to serve as a programming language that could be embedded in web pages viewed in the browser.. aho@cs.columbia.edu. JerseySTEM.

Regular expressions are used routinely in such applications as text editors, language translators, and Internet packet processors.. Regular expressions are made up of. Literal characters to match in the . string like “. abc. ”. Metacharacters . are characters that specify how we can interpret a sequence of literal . characters. 2.
