backspace-string-compare.html

<p>Given two strings <code>s</code> and <code>t</code>, return <code>true</code> <em>if they are equal when both are typed into empty text editors</em>. <code>&#39;#&#39;</code> means a backspace character.</p>

<p>Note that after backspacing an empty text, the text will continue empty.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;ab#c&quot;, t = &quot;ad#c&quot;
<strong>Output:</strong> true
<strong>Explanation:</strong> Both s and t become &quot;ac&quot;.
</pre>

<p><strong>Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;ab##&quot;, t = &quot;c#d#&quot;
<strong>Output:</strong> true
<strong>Explanation:</strong> Both s and t become &quot;&quot;.
</pre>

<p><strong>Example 3:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;a#c&quot;, t = &quot;b&quot;
<strong>Output:</strong> false
<strong>Explanation:</strong> s becomes &quot;c&quot; while t becomes &quot;b&quot;.
</pre>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li><code><span>1 &lt;= s.length, t.length &lt;= 200</span></code></li>
	<li><span><code>s</code> and <code>t</code> only contain lowercase letters and <code>&#39;#&#39;</code> characters.</span></li>
</ul>
