Java's greedy quantifiers allow you to match expressions that appear multiple times. Where,
Exp {n} prompts the expression exp to appear exactly n times.
Exp {n,} prompts the expression exp to appear at least n times.
Exp {n, m} prompts the expression exp to appear at least n times and at most m times.

Output result
Enter 5 input strings: rama raja raghu megha malya rama: not accepted raja: not accepted raghu: accepted megha: accepted malya: accepted
