why do we use /(\d*)(\d{2})/ instead of /(\d{2})(\d{2})/ in this video?

Begana Choi They are setting up the Regular expression so that it will replace any numeric value "5337" and turn it into a monetary value "$53.37". Since monetary values have a 2 digit decimal value for the change ($0.37) the second capture group is "(\d{2})". This grabs the last two digit values that way they can be separated from the digits in front of them. The amount of digits before the decimal point could vary though. Instead of $53.37 you could have $153.37. So in an instance like this, for your first capture group you wouldn't want to only grab two digits, because it could be any amount. So this is why they use (\d*). The * symbol represents 0 or more of the preceding character. Therefore they can grab any amount of digits before the final two digits and set them on the left side of the decimal point.

I hope this makes sense! Let me know.
