Need another good test case to understand this

#1

what this means ’ * ’ Matches zero or more of the preceding element. , another example please

#2

Let us say the previous element is ‘a’, that is it is something like

...a*...
then this means there can be as many a’s as you want.

Also, if the previous element is ‘.’ then this means that there can be as many ‘.’ as you want, that is there can be any character as many times.

so will abba / aa match with ab*a

Yes, both will match

#6

what if * is in starting ?

regex with * in start is invalid, so there will be no such test case
