Algorithm

71. Simplify Path

Description

Given a string path, which is an absolute path (starting with a slash '/') to a file or directory in a Unix-style file system, convert it to the simplified canonical path.

In a Unix-style file system, a period '.' refers to the current directory, a double period '..' refers to the directory up a level, and any multiple consecutive slashes (i.e. '//') are treated as a single slash '/'. For this problem, any other format of periods such as '...' are treated as file/directory names.

The canonical path should have the following format:

  • The path starts with a single slash '/'.
  • Any two directories are separated by a single slash '/'.
  • The path does not end with a trailing '/'.
  • The path only contains the directories on the path from the root directory to the target file or directory (i.e., no period '.' or double period '..')
  • Return the simplified canonical path.

Example 1:

Input: path = "/home/"
Output: "/home"
Explanation: Note that there is no trailing slash after the last directory name.

Example 2:

Input: path = "/../"
Output: "/"
Explanation: Going one level up from the root directory is a no-op, as the root level is the highest level you can go.

Example 3:

Input: path = "/home//foo/"
Output: "/home/foo"
Explanation: In the canonical path, multiple consecutive slashes are replaced by a single one.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= path.length <= 3000
  • path consists of English letters, digits, period '.', slash '/' or '_'.
  • path is a valid absolute Unix path.

Solution

class Solution {
    public String simplifyPath(String path) {
        Deque<String> stack = new LinkedList<>();
        for(String s: path.split("/")){
            if(s.equals("..") ){
                stack.poll();
            }else if(!s.equals("") && !s.equals(".")){
                stack.push(s);
            }
        }
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        if(stack.size() == 0){
            return "/";
        }
        while(stack.size() != 0){
           sb.append("/").append(stack.pollLast());   
        }
        return sb.toString();
    }
}
