What is the meaning of /i
at the tail of this regex?
var time = /^([1-9]|1[0-9]):([0-5][0-9])(\s[a|p]m)$/i;

It's, like Sachin Shanbhag already answered the 'ignore case' modifier. So /[a-z]/i
is equal to /[a-zA-Z]/
. Check this link for other modifiers.

/i
stands for ignore case in the given string. Usually referred to as case-insensitive as pointed out in the comment.
