Simplify Path

Title: Simplify Path Source: leetcode.com

Given an absolute path for a file (Unix-style), simplify it.

For example,
path = "/home/", => "/home"
path = "/a/./b/../../c/", => "/c"

click to show corner cases.

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".
