#<Any Object>.new is the way of initializing an object in ruby. In this case 'Regexp' class. | |

# Ex: We have two string | |
# 1 - Sam | |
# 2 - Sameera | |
# regexp = Regexp.new("Sam") | |
# regexp.match("Sameera") | |

games.grep(Regexp.new(search)) | |
# Regexp.new(search) - creating a new RegularExpression with the search word 'Super Mario Bros.' | |
# then it passes to 'games.grep' array, 'games' is an Array. | |
