 If we apply the same global regexp to different inputs, it may lead to wrong result, because `regexp.test` call advances `regexp.lastIndex` property, so the search in another string may start from non-zero position.
 
 For instance, here we call `regexp.test` twice on the same text, and the second time fails:

+That's exactly because `regexp.lastIndex` is non-zero in the second test.
 
-To work around that, one could use non-global regexps or re-adjust `regexp.lastIndex=0` before a new search.
+To work around that, we can set `regexp.lastIndex = 0` before each search. Or instead of calling methods on regexp, use string methods `str.match/search/...`, they don't use `lastIndex`.

-## Summary
-
-There's a variety of many methods on both regexps and strings.
-
-Their abilities and methods overlap quite a bit, we can do the same by different calls. Sometimes that may cause confusion when starting to learn the language.

-Then please refer to the recipes at the beginning of this chapter, as they provide solutions for the majority of regexp-related tasks.
