# Implement wildcard pattern matching with support for '?' and '*'.
# 
# '?' Matches any single character.
# '*' Matches any sequence of characters (including the empty sequence).
# 
# The matching should cover the entire input string (not partial).
# 
# The function prototype should be:
# bool isMatch(const char *s, const char *p)
# 
# Some examples:
# isMatch("aa","a") -> false
# isMatch("aa","aa") -> true
# isMatch("aaa","aa") -> false
# isMatch("aa", "*") -> true
# isMatch("aa", "a*") -> true
# isMatch("ab", "?*") -> true
# isMatch("aab", "c*a*b") -> false
#
