Footnotes

[1]	Regular expressions, or regex. If you’re unfamiliar with it, it allows the creation of complex patterns for string and substring matching. You can validate your expressions here at regex101.

[2]	A number used to initialize a pseudo random number generator, to allow some degree of determinism in a system. See random seed for more information.
