Q: What datatype does the groups function return after collecting regex groups?
- A string
- A tuple
- A list
- A float
Explanation: When used inside the context of regex, the group’s method will return a tuple. The group’s function gives you the ability to extract the captured substrings as a tuple when you employ capturing groups in a regular expression.
If you have a regular expression pattern that has two capturing groups, for instance, invoking the group’s method will result in the return of a tuple that contains the substrings that are matched by each of the capturing groups.
