This pull request fixes the solution for LeetCode Problem 3465 - Find Products with Valid Serial Numbers, where the existing regex pattern caused test cases to fail.
Changes made :
MySQL: Updated query to use case-sensitive regex with (?-i) → correctly matches serials like SN1234-5678 but not sN1234-5678.
Pandas: Updated regex pattern to (?-i)\bSN[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{4}\b to align with MySQL behavior.
Verified that all test cases now pass successfully.
Reason for change
The previous regex was case-insensitive, causing incorrect matches (sN4321-8765, etc.) and failing test cases.
This fix ensures consistent and accurate matching across both MySQL and Python implementations.
Result :
✅ Test cases pass
✅ Consistent output between MySQL and Pandas solutions
✅ Code readability and correctness improved
