4.3 Non-capturing Groups
Whenever you use parentheses you create a new capturing group. There will be times,however, where you don't need to reference these groups. In this lesson we'll introduce non-capturing groups so you can use parentheses only for the purpose of scope. This will be a little better for performance and make it easier when you're filtering through your matches.
