/**
* Given a regular expression with characters a-z, ' * ', ' . '
* the task was to find if that string could match another string with characters from: a-z
* where ' * ' can delete the character before it, and '.' could match whatever character. '*' always appear after a a-z character.
* Example:
* isMatch("a*", "") = true;
* isMatch(".", "") = false;
* isMatch("ab*", "a") = true;
* isMatch("a.", "ab") = true;
* isMatch("a", "a") = true;
