Wildcard Matching
Explore how to implement wildcard matching between input strings and patterns using greedy algorithms. Understand how to handle '?' and '*' wildcards to determine if a pattern fully matches a string. This lesson helps you apply optimization techniques to solve complete pattern matching problems.

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. ...
