        /*
         * Study methods go through the input String and return a
         * boolean indicating whether or not the pattern is found.
         * Commonly used are matches and lookingAt methods.
         *
         * The matches and lookingAt methods both attempt to match an
         * input sequence against a pattern. The difference, is that
         * matches requires the entire input sequence to be matched,
         * while lookingAt does not.

        System.out.println(matcher.lookingAt());
        System.out.println(matcher.matches());
    }

}

Output

true
false
