Solution: Equal Rational Numbers

Understand how to determine if two strings representing rational numbers, including those with repeating decimal parts, are equal. Explore the algebraic conversion of repeating decimals into fractions and practice implementing this solution to handle different rational number formats accurately.

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 ...
