Asked in companies
Given a string ‘str’ and a string ‘pat’. The string s has some wildcard characters i.e ‘?’ and ‘*’.
If any character is a ‘?’ we can replace that character with any other character.
If a character is a * we can replace * with any sequence of characters including the empty sequence.
Your task is to determine if it is possible that we can make ‘str' = 'pat’ using appropriate conversions in ‘str’.
For example:
Let str = “abc?" and pat= “abcd”
We return true as ‘?’ can be replaced with ‘d’ and this makes ‘str’ and ‘pat’ same.
