-Suppose you have a string made up of only 'a' and 'b'. Write a recursive function that checks if the string was generated using the following rules:
-a. The string begins with an 'a'
-b. Each 'a' is followed by nothing or an 'a' or "bb"
-c. Each "bb" is followed by nothing or an 'a'
-If all the rules are followed by the given string, return true otherwise return false.
-Sample Input:
-abb
-Sample Output:
-true
