Implement regular expression matching with support for '.'
and '*'
.
'.' Matches any single character.
'*' Matches zero or more of the preceding element.
The matching should cover the entire input string (not partial).
The function prototype should be:
bool isMatch(const char *s, const char *p)
Some examples:
isMatch("aa","a") → false
isMatch("aa","aa") → true
isMatch("aaa","aa") → false
isMatch("aa", "a*") → true
isMatch("aa", ".*") → true
isMatch("ab", ".*") → true
isMatch("aab", "c*a*b") → true
Solution:
Code:
<span style="font-size:14px;">class Solution {
public:
bool isMatch(const char *s, const char *p) {
if (*s == '\0' && *p == '\0') return true;
if (*s != '\0' && *p == '\0') return false;
if (*(p+1) == '*') {
while (*s != '\0' && (*s == *p || *p == '.')) {
if (isMatch(s, p+2))
return true;
++s;
}
return isMatch(s, p+2);
} else {
if (*s != '\0' && (*s == *p || *p == '.')) return isMatch(s+1, p+1);
}
return false;
}
};</span>
