This blows my mind. 

var rexPassword = /[A-Z]/g;

console.log(rexPassword.test('Password1!'));
console.log(rexPassword.test('Password1!'));
console.log(rexPassword.test('Password1!'));

This is the same exact regular expression testing against the same exact string constant, but the output alternates as follows:

true
false
true

What is going on here?!

    @Jordan ?? Having a question closed as a duplicate is not a *punishment* or anything like that; your question simply **is** a duplicate, one that's asked quite often. If you click through the link, you'll see the answers that have already been provided for exactly the same problem. – Pointy Mar 26 '18 at 17:00
  • @Pointy, yeah, that makes sense. I'm just a little bit jumpy from previous abuse I've received on here. I've been called names. I deleted my comment. I'll delete this one two. Thanks again. – Jordan Mar 30 '18 at 12:45
