Solution: Equal Rational Numbers

Understand how to convert rational numbers represented as strings with possible repeating decimals into exact fractions. Explore the algebraic method for handling repeating parts, and learn how to compare these fractions to determine if two given rational numbers are equal.

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, 1212 ...
