Write a Python program that matches a string that has an a followed by three 'b'.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import re
def text_match(text):
        patterns = 'ab{3}?'
        if re.search(patterns,  text):

        else:
                return('Not matched!')

print(text_match("abbb"))
print(text_match("aabbbbbc"))
