Problems

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:

1
2
3
4
Input: s = "aa", p = "a"
Output: false
Explanation: "a" does not match the entire string "aa".

Example 2:

1
2
3
4
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:

1
2
3
4
Input: s = "ab", p = ".*"
Output: true
Explanation: ".*" means "zero or more (*) of any character (.)".

class Solution {
    fun isMatch(s: String, p: String): Boolean {
        return p.toRegex().matches(s)
    }
}
