Solution: Equal Rational Numbers

Understand the method to compare rational numbers expressed as strings with repeating decimal parts by converting them into reduced fractions. Learn to handle integer, non-repeating, and repeating parts through algebraic techniques, enabling accurate equality checks between rational representations.

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 ...
