How does the greedy vs. non-greedy behavior affect regular expression matching?
- Greedy behavior and non-greedy behavior have no impact on regular expression matching.
- Greedy behavior is faster than non-greedy behavior.
- Greedy behavior matches the longest possible string, while non-greedy behavior matches the shortest possible string.
- Non-greedy behavior matches the longest possible string, while greedy behavior matches the shortest possible string.
Greedy behavior in regular expressions matches the longest possible string, while non-greedy behavior matches the shortest possible string. This distinction is crucial when dealing with repetitive elements in the pattern.
