Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.A few weeks ago I came across an article describing "A regular expression to check for prime numbers".

This contradicts the definition of regular languages, specifically the Pumping Lemma. So, how is this even possible? Well, the regular expression discussed in this article and the regex framework it's used with makes clever use of ...
