Simplify Path
You are given an absolute path for a Unix-style file system, which always begins with a slash '/'. Your task is to transform this absolute path into its simplified canonical path.
The rules of a Unix-style file system are as follows:
- A single period
'.'represents the current directory. - A double period
'..'represents the previous/parent directory. - Multiple consecutive slashes such as
'//'and'///'are treated as a single slash'/'. - Any sequence of periods that does not match the rules above should be treated as a valid directory or filename. For example,
'...'and'....'are valid directory or file names.
The simplified canonical path should follow these rules:
- The path must start with a single slash
'/'. - Directories within the path must be separated by exactly one slash
'/'. - The path must not end with a slash
'/', unless it is the root directory. - The path must not have any single or double periods (
'.'and'..') used to denote current or parent directories.
Return the simplified canonical path.
Example 1
Input
path = "/home/"Output
"/home"The trailing slash is removed, so the canonical path is
/home.Example 2
Input
path = "/home//foo/"Output
"/home/foo"Constraints
- 1 <= path.length <= 3000
- path consists of English letters, digits, period '.', slash '/', or '_'
- path is a valid absolute Unix path
