Java Web Development Techdegree Graduate 23,933 PointsHey Albert!
You're almost there!
You created a RegEx object called hexRegEx. All RegEx objects have a test() method. Just call the test() method, pass the text parameter, and return the boolean that the test() method returns.
return hexRegEx.test(text);
Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions :)!
