Implement the StringUtil.contains(String string, String pattern) method to take two
input parameters. The method must verify if the first parameter contains a pattern passed
as the second parameter.
A pattern may contain single or multiple wildcard characters *.
Each occurrence of * in the pattern means that it can be a match for
zero or more characters of the string.
Asterisk () is considered as a regular character, if it is preceded by a backslash () in a pattern. Backslash () is considered as a regular character in all cases other than preceding the asterisk ().
Implementation cannot use any standard library or third party utility methods operating
on strings (String.matches(), String.contains(), String.indexOf(), etc.) or regular expressions.
Methods like String.toCharArray(), String.charAt(), String.length(), etc. are allowed to use.
It is allowed to add any testing libraries of your choice, but the main framework (JUnit 5) should remain.
Exact requirements are specified in a JavaDoc for the implemented method. In case of doubts or any clarifications are needed, do not hesitate to contact recruiters.
