Hello I have pattern for email adress and it works but I am struggling, why there need to be backslash before dot
pattern = re.compile("[a-zA-Z0-9]+@[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.[a-zA-Z]+")

Look for "special characters" in the docs - [Regular Expression Syntax](https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#regular-expression-syntax) – tdelaney Aug 29 '20 at 15:52
