Question
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).
Examples
Input: s = "aa", p = "a"
Output: false
Explanation: "a" does not match the entire string "aa".
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".
Input: s = "ab", p = ".
"
Output: true
Explanation: "." means "zero or more () of any character (.)".
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 20
1 <= p.length <= 30
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.
