Wildcard Matching

Explore how to solve wildcard matching problems by implementing greedy algorithms. Understand how to handle patterns with '?' matching one character and '*' matching any sequence. Gain practical skills for efficient string pattern matching in coding interviews.

Statement

Given an input string, s, and a pattern string, p, implement wildcard pattern matching that determines if the pattern matches the entire input string.

The pattern supports two special wildcard characters:

  • '?': Matches exactly one arbitrary character.

  • '*': Matches any sequence of characters (including zero characters).

The match must be complete, meaning the pattern should cover the entire input string, not just a part of it. ...
