29. The REGEX asterisks (*) character has exactly the same meaning as the Globbing (wildcard) asterisks (*) character.
a) True
b) False
a) True
a) True
b) False
Explanation:
The REGEX asterisk (*) and the Globbing asterisk (*) have similar but not exactly the same meanings.
In regular expressions (REGEX), the asterisk (*) is a quantifier that matches zero or more occurrences of the preceding character or group. For example, the REGEX "a*" would match strings such as "", "a", "aa", "aaa", and so on.
In Globbing (wildcard) patterns, the asterisk (*) is used to represent any number of characters (including zero characters) in a filename or path. For example, the pattern "file*.txt" would match filenames such as "file.txt", "file1.txt", "file123.txt", and so on.
While the usage of the asterisk (*) in both REGEX and Globbing has similarities, their precise meanings and behaviors are different. So it is incorrect to say that they have exactly the same meaning.
