Regular Expression Matching

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).

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

class Solution {
public:
bool isMatch(string s, string p) {
if (p.empty()) return s.empty();
if (p.size() == 1) {
return (s.size() == 1 && (s[0] == p[0] || p[0] == '.'));
}
if (p[1] != '*') {
if (s.empty()) return false;
return (s[0] == p[0] || p[0] == '.') && isMatch(s.substr(1), p.substr(1));
}
while (!s.empty() && (s[0] == p[0] || p[0] == '.')) {
if (isMatch(s, p.substr(2))) return true;
s = s.substr(1);
}
return isMatch(s, p.substr(2));
}
};
