''' The contains_acronym function checks the text for the presence of 2 or more

characters or digits surrounded by parentheses, with at least the first character

in uppercase (if it's a letter), returning True if the condition is met, or False

otherwise. For example, "Instant messaging (IM) is a set of communication

technologies used for text-based communication" should return True since (IM)

satisfies the match conditions." Fill in the regular expression

in this function: '''
