Problem Challenge 2
We'll cover the following
Comparing Strings containing Backspaces (medium) #
Given two strings containing backspaces (identified by the character ‘#’), check if the two strings are equal.
Example 1:
Input: str1="xy#z", str2="xzz#"
Output: true
Explanation: After applying backspaces the strings become "xz" and "xz" respectively.
Example 2:
Input: str1="xy#z", str2="xyz#"
Output: false
Explanation: After applying backspaces the strings become "xz" and "xy" respectively.
Example 3:
Input: str1="xp#", str2="xyz##"
Output: true
Explanation: After applying backspaces the strings become "x" and "x" respectively.
In "xyz##", the first '#' removes the character 'z' and the second '#' removes the character 'y'.
Example 4:
Input: str1="xywrrmp", str2="xywrrmu#p"
Output: true
Explanation: After applying backspaces the strings become "xywrrmp" and "xywrrmp" respectively.
