Your regular expression calls for two letters and then a number. E3 only has one letter

pattern = r"[A-Z]+[0-9]" will match both 1 + 2

Pattern is two uppercase character followed by one digit. Three chracter string. E3 does not have second uppercase character.

The sequence of the pattern is Uppercase > Uppercase > Number. Therefore Both 'E3' and '1ab' aren't obey the sequence.

r"[A-Z][A-Z][0-9]" matches strings with 2 UPPERCASE LETTERS then 1 NUMBER DIGIT. It would still match a string that has more than that, like "amogusSU5". But it won't match a string that has less than that, LIKE "E3". (Has a single uppercase letter instead of 2)

You code calls for an UPPERCASE followed by another UPPERCASE and finally a digit. 'E3' has only one UPPERCASE letter

pattern definites three lists. The first two contain the elements or items which are the alphabetical characters in uppercase and the last contains the digits from 0 to 9. That's why the output sould have two upper case letters at the beginning and followed by numbers.

Answer: The reason “March 2” and “E3 are not matching is that, the sequence of your regular expresion (r"[A-Z][A-Z][0-9]") calls for Uppercase letter [A-Z], Uppercase letter [A-Z], and numbers [0-9]. Therefore, the only condition that certifies the right order in this case is LS8 which is match 1. In a simplest form again is: Capital letter, Capital letter, and numbers. Like this: LS8. I hope this helps you to clear your doubt….
