CHEF AND THE WILDCARD MATCHING

  • Problem Description

    Chef wants to implement wildcard pattern matching supporting only the wildcard ?. The wildcard character ? can be substituted by any single lower case English letter for matching. He has two strings X and Y of equal length, made up of lower case letters and the character ?. He wants to know whether the strings X and Y can be matched or not.

    Input

    The first line of input contain an integer T denoting the number of test cases. Each test case consists of two lines, the first line contains the string X and the second contains the string Y.

    Output

    For each test case, output a single line with the word Yes if the strings can be matched, otherwise output No.

    Constraints

    1 <= T <= 50
    Both X and Y have equal length and the length is between 1 and 10.
    Both X and Y consist of lower case letters and the character ?.
    Example

    Input:
    2
    s?or?
    sco??
    stor?
    sco??

    Output:
    Yes
    No
    Explanation

    First Example: There are several ways the two strings can be matched, one of those is "score".

    Second Example: There is no way to match the strings.
  • CODING ARENA
  • #include <stdio.h>
    int main()
    {
      int t,i,flag;
      char x[10],y[10];
      scanf("%d",&t);
      while(t--)
      {
        flag=0;
        scanf("%s",x);
        scanf("%s",y);
        for(i=0;(x[i]!=0)&&(flag==0);i++)
        {
          if(x[i]!='?'&&y[i]!='?')
          {
            if(x[i]!=y[i])
            {
              flag=1;
            }
          }
        }
        if(flag==0)
          printf("Yes\n");
        else
          printf("No\n");
      }
      

    return 0;
    }

    Expected Output
    Yes
    
    No
