Given an input string s
and a pattern p
, implement regular expression matching with support for '.'
and '*'
where:
'.'
Matches any single character.'*'
Matches zero or more of the preceding element.
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.
