Solution: Equal Rational Numbers
Explore how to convert rational numbers with repeating decimal parts into exact fractions to check their equality. Understand the algebraic approach to handle integer, non-repeating, and repeating components, and apply Python's Fraction class for precise comparison of rational numbers expressed in various decimal formats.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
Given two strings s and t, each representing a non negative rational number, return true if and only if they represent the same number. The strings may use parentheses to denote the repeating part of the rational number.
A rational number can be represented using up to three parts: <IntegerPart>, <NonRepeatingPart>, and <RepeatingPart>. The number will be expressed in one of the following three formats:
<IntegerPart>For example,
