Regular Expressions and Pattern Matching

Regular Expressions and Pattern Matching

Let’s learn about regular expressions and pattern matching in Go.

We'll cover the following...

What is pattern matching?

Pattern matching is a technique for searching a string for some set of characters based on a specific search pattern that is based on regular expressions and grammar.

What is a regular expression?

A regular expression is a sequence of characters that defines a search pattern. Every regular expression is compiled into a recognizer by building a generalized transition diagram called a finite automaton. A finite automaton can be either deterministic or nondeterministic. Nondeterministic means that more ...
