Solution: Regular Expression Matching
Understand how to implement a dynamic programming solution for regular expression matching in Python. Learn to handle '.' and '*' operators, use recursion with memoization, and efficiently solve the problem with optimal time and space complexity.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given an input string, s, and a pattern string, p. Your task is to implement regular expression matching between s and p, where the pattern may include the special characters '.' and '*':
'.'matches any single character.'*'matches zero or more occurrences of the preceding character.
The match must cover the entire input string, not just part of it.
Constraints:
s.lengthp.lengthscontains only lowercase English letters.pcontains only lowercase English letters,'.', and'*'.It is guaranteed that for each appearance of the character
'*', there will be a previous valid character to match.
