Regular Expression Matching

Given an input string s and a pattern p, implement regular expression matching with support

for '.' and '*' where:

'.' Matches any single character.

'*' Matches zero or more of the preceding element.

The matching should cover the entire input string (not partial).

Example 1:

Input: s = "aa", p = "a"

Output: false

Explanation: "a" does not match the entire string "aa".

Example 2:

Input: s = "aa", p = "a*"

Output: true

Explanation: '*' means zero or more of the preceding element, 'a'. Therefore, by repeating 'a'

once, it becomes "aa".

Example 3:

Input: s = "ab", p = ".*"

Output: true

Explanation: ".*" means "zero or more (*) of any character (.)".

Constraints:

1 <= s.length <= 20

1 <= p.length <= 20

s contains only lowercase English letters.

p contains only lowercase English letters, '.', and '*'.

It is guaranteed for each appearance of the character '*', there will be a previous valid

character to match.
