+  hints:
+    - Use the regexp package from the standard library.
+    - Compile the pattern with regexp.Compile or regexp.MustCompile.
+    - Use MatchString to check if the input matches the pattern.
+    - Patterns like ^a.*z$ match strings starting with 'a' and ending with 'z'.
+    - See https://pkg.go.dev/regexp for more examples.
