844. Backspace String Compare #

题目 #

Given two strings S and T, return if they are equal when both are typed into empty text editors. # means a backspace character.

Example 1:

Input: S = "ab#c", T = "ad#c"
Output: true
Explanation: Both S and T become "ac".

Example 2:

Input: S = "ab##", T = "c#d#"
Output: true
Explanation: Both S and T become "".

Example 3:

Input: S = "a##c", T = "#a#c"
Output: true
Explanation: Both S and T become "c".

Example 4:

Input: S = "a#c", T = "b"
Output: false
Explanation: S becomes "c" while T becomes "b".

Note:

• 1 <= S.length <= 200
• 1 <= T.length <= 200
• S and T only contain lowercase letters and ‘#’ characters.

Follow up:

• Can you solve it in O(N) time and O(1) space?

题目大意 #

给 2 个字符串，如果遇到 # 号字符，就回退一个字符。问最终的 2 个字符串是否完全一致。

解题思路 #

这一题可以用栈的思想来模拟，遇到 # 字符就回退一个字符。不是 # 号就入栈一个字符。比较最终 2 个字符串即可。
