Write a function in language of your choice that takes in two strings, and returns true if they match. Constraints are as follows: String 1, the text to match to, will be alphabets and digits. String 2, the pattern, will be alphabets, digits, '.' and '*'. '.' means either alphabet or digit will be considered as a "match". "*" means the previous character is repeat 0 or more # of times. For example: Text: Facebook Pattern: F.cebo*k returns true

Given a m*n grid starting from (1, 1). At any point (x, y), you has two choices for the next move: 1) move to (x+y, y); 2) move to (x, y+x); From point (1, 1), how to move to (m, n) in least moves? (or there's no such a path)

Consider a stack of N number of cards which are piled up and in facing down. Each card has a unique number from the range 1 to N. The card is stacked in such a way that it exhibits the following behavior: Take the first card and put it under the stack without revealing. Now the next card on the top will have the number 1 on it. Next take 2 cards one after the other and put is under the stack without revealing. Yes you guessed it right - the next card on the top will reveal a value of 2. This goes on. Eg. for such a series : 9,1,8,5,2,4,7,6,3,10 [for N=10] Write a program to generate such a series for a given N number of cards so that this behavior can be exercised.
