Question

6.Please_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).

The function prototype should be:
bool is_match(const char *s, const char *p)

Some examples:
is_match("aa","a") → false
is_match("aa","aa") → true
is_match("aaa","aa") → false
is_match("aa", "a*") → true
is_match("aa", ".*") → true
is_match("ab", ".*") → true
is_match("aab", "c*a*b") → true
"""

def is_match(str_a, str_b):
    """Finds if `str_a` matches `str_b`

    Keyword arguments:
    str_a -- string
    str_b -- string. 


    """.
