You are given an absolute path for a Unix-style file system, which always begins with a slash '/'
. Your task is to transform this absolute path into its simplified canonical path.
The rules of a Unix-style file system are as follows:
'.'
represents the current directory.'..'
represents the previous/parent directory.'//'
and '///'
are treated as a single slash '/'
.'...'
and '....'
are valid directory or file names.The simplified canonical path should follow these rules:
'/'
.'/'
.'/'
, unless it is the root directory.'.'
and '..'
) used to denote current or parent directories.Return the simplified canonical path.
Example 1:
Input: path = "/home/"
Output: "/home"
Explanation:
The trailing slash should be removed.
Example 2:
Input: path = "/home//foo/"
Output: "/home/foo"
Explanation:
Multiple consecutive slashes are replaced by a single one.
Example 3:
Input: path = "/home/user/Documents/../Pictures"
Output: "/home/user/Pictures"
Explanation:
A double period ".."
refers to the directory up a level (the parent directory).
Example 4:
Input: path = "/../"
Output: "/"
Explanation:
Going one level up from the root directory is not possible.
Example 5:
Input: path = "/.../a/../b/c/../d/./"
Output: "/.../b/d"
Explanation:
"..."
is a valid name for a directory in this problem.
Constraints:
1 <= path.length <= 3000
path
consists of English letters, digits, period '.'
, slash '/'
or '_'
.path
is a valid absolute Unix path.
