Problem
Given an absolute path for a file (Unix-style), simplify it.
For example,
path =
path =
path =
"/home/", => "/home"path =
"/a/./b/../../c/", => "/c"
Corner Cases:
- Did you consider the case where path =
"/../"?
In this case, you should return"/". - Another corner case is the path might contain multiple slashes
'/'together, such as"/home//foo/".
In this case, you should ignore redundant slashes and return"/home/foo".
Algorithm
The path can be represented by a singly linked list. Between slashes, there are files or folders, "." or "..". If we see a file or folder, append it to the end of list. If we see a ".", do nothing. If we see a "..", remove the end node of the list.
