Ruby - Regular Expressions

What is the issue with this Ruby code snippet?

text = "abc123"
if text.match(/\d+/)
  puts "Digits found"
else
  puts "No digits"
end

ANo issue; code works correctly to detect digits

BUsing match returns nil or MatchData, so condition always false

CRegex pattern is incorrect; should be /[0-9]+/

DShould use =~ operator instead of match method

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand match method behavior
text.match(/\d+/) returns a MatchData object if digits found, else nil.
Step 2: Evaluate if condition
In Ruby, nil is falsey, MatchData is truthy, so condition works as intended.
Final Answer:
No issue; code works correctly to detect digits -> Option A
Quick Check:
match returns truthy MatchData or nil [OK]

Quick Trick: match returns MatchData or nil, usable in if [OK]
