# Regex for range from 1 to 100

A range of numbers is a set of numbers that falls within a certain range or span. It is defined by the minimum and maximum values of the set. For example, the range of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, ... 100 is 1 to 100. The minimum value in this range is 1, and the maximum value is 100. In this article let's understand how we can create a regex for month and how regex can be matched for a given month name.

Regex (short for regular expression) is a powerful tool used for searching and manipulating text. It is composed of a sequence of characters that define a search pattern. Regex can be used to find patterns in large amounts of text, validate user input, and manipulate strings. It is widely used in programming languages, text editors, and command line tools.
