Step 1: Understand the Problem The problem is about extracting the year from a given string that follows the format “(yyyy)”. The original code attempts to solve this by using the sub() function in R, but it fails with certain inputs. Step 2: Identify the Correct Approach We need to find an approach that correctly matches and extracts the 4-digit year. The correct pattern should start from the beginning of the string (^), followed by zero or more characters that are not a “(”, (, and then exactly one “(”.
