Validating HackerRank Emails with RegEx

This document provides instructions for validating email addresses using a regular expression. An email address is considered valid if it meets the following criteria: 1. The user name starts with 1-6 lowercase English letters. 2. The letters can be followed by an optional underscore. 3. The underscore (if present) can be followed by 0-4 optional digits. The document includes sample code and test cases to validate email addresses against these criteria using a regular expression. It provides an example of a valid email address and explains why two invalid addresses fail the criteria.

It starts with between 1 and 6 lowercase English letters denoted by the character class [a-
z].
2 The lowercase letter(s) are followed by an optional underscore, i.e. zero or one occurrence
of  the _ character.
The optional underscore is followed by 0 to 4 optional digits denoted by the character

class [0-9].

expression that matches valid email addresses according to the criteria above. Locked
code in the editor prints True for each correct match and False for each incorrect match.

An example of a valid email is abcdef_1234@[Link].  It has as many of each
class of character as possible.  The address a1_1@[Link] fails for two reasons. 
6 First, digits cannot precede the underscore.  Second, the domain fails because it is not

We perform the following query = 5 validations:

1. julia@[Link] starts with between 1 and 6 lowercase letters and contains zero of
the optional characters, so it's valid.
2. julia_@[Link] starts with between 1 and 6 lowercase letters, is followed by a
single underscore, and contains none of the optional digits, so it's valid.
3. julia_0@[Link] starts with between 1 and 6 lowercase letters, is followed by a
single underscore, and is followed by between 0 and 4 digits, so it's valid.
4. julia0_@[Link] has valid lowercase letters followed by a valid digit, but the digit
must not precede the underscore.
5. julia@[Link] has a valid user name, but its domain and extension do not
match [Link].

[Link] 1/1
