{{w|Regular expressions}} are a way to specify textual patterns. Given a regular expression, one can search for the pattern it specifies inside a text string. A regular expression is used in the ''[[what if? (blog)|what if?]]'' article ''{{what if|75|Phone Keypad}}'' to calculate the answer to that week's question.

(blog)|what if?]]'' article ''{{what if|78|T-rex Calories}}''.
