I could not figure out what wrong with this code.

Answer 1

Thanks JaScript and get , I didn’t realize the video id may contain special character and they are 11 character. I only followed the direction that states “video ID (the combination of letters and numbers at the end of the link)”.

Answer 2

input https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRW2a-12345
gives 12345

Answer 3

Tip: all YouTube video identifiers are 11 characters in length.

Answer 4

ArrUn, very glad! I think, they must replace "letters and numbers" with "characters" to not confuse beginners.
And one more fact: in long version ("youtube.com") it is always the same page for video ("watch"), and special script watches the identifier and gives data associated with it (video, upload time, comments, likes, dislikes, if "content for children") from the server to it.
