Long Pressed Name

Your friend is typing his name into a keyboard. Sometimes, when typing a character c, the key might get long pressed, and the character will be typed 1 or more times.

You examine the typed characters of the keyboard. Return true if it is possible that it was your friend's name, with some characters (possibly none) being long pressed.

Example 1
Inputname = "alex", typed = "aaleex"
Outputtrue
'a' and 'e' in 'alex' were long pressed.
Example 2
Inputname = "saeed", typed = "ssaaedd"
Outputfalse
'e' must have been pressed twice, but it was not in the typed output.

Constraints

  • 1 <= name.length, typed.length <= 1000
  • name and typed consist of only lowercase English letters.
