Java matches() Method Guide

In Java, the matches() function is a method used to check whether a string matches a given regular expression. Its purpose is to determine if a string follows the rules of a specific regular expression.

The matches() method returns a boolean value, returning true if the string matches the regular expression, and false otherwise.

For example, we can use the matches() function to verify whether a string is a valid email address, a valid phone number, etc. By passing different regular expressions, we can perform various types of validation and matching operations.
