Welcome to the daily solving of our PROBLEM OF THE DAY with Karan Mashru. We will discuss the entire problem step-by-step and work towards developing an optimized solution. This will not only help you brush up on your concepts of Matrix but also build up problem-solving skills.
In this problem, we are given two strings wild and pattern. Determine if the given two strings can be matched given that, wild string may contain * and ? but string pattern will not. * and ? can be converted to another character according to the following rules:
* --> This character in string wild can be replaced by any sequence of characters, it can also be replaced by an empty string. ? --> This character in string wild can be replaced by any one character.
Example :
Input:
wild = ge*ks
pattern = geeks
Output: Yes
Explanation: Replace the '*' in the wild string
with 'e' to obtain pattern "geeks"
