Solution: Backspace String Compare

Understand how to apply the two pointers technique to solve the backspace string comparison problem. This lesson teaches you to efficiently check if two typed strings are equal after accounting for backspace characters, optimizing for O(n) time and O(1) space. You will gain skills in pointer manipulation and skipping logic crucial for string editing challenges.

Statement

Given two strings s and t, return true if they produce the same result when typed into an empty text editor, where '#' represents a backspace character. Applying a backspace on an empty editor leaves it unchanged.

Note: Can you solve it in O(n)O(n) time and O(1)O(1) space?
