Regular Expression Matching

Given an input string s and a pattern p, implement regular expression matching with support for '.' and '*' where: The matching should cover the entire input string (not partial).

Given an input string s and a pattern p, implement regular expression matching with support for '.' and '*' where:

The matching should cover the entire input string (not partial).

Example 1

Input: s = "aa", p = "a"

Output: false

Explanation: "a" does not match the entire string "aa".

Example 2

Input: s = "aa", p = "a*"

Output: true

Explanation: '*' means zero or more of the preceding element, 'a'. Therefore, by repeating 'a' once, it becomes "aa".

Example 3

Input: s = "ab", p = ".*"

Output: true

Explanation: ".*" means "zero or more (*) of any character (.)".

Constraints

  • 1 <= s.length <= 20
  • 1 <= p.length <= 20
  • s contains only lowercase English letters.
  • p contains only lowercase English letters, '.', and '*'.
  • It is guaranteed for each appearance of the character '*', there will be a previous valid character to match.
