Due to a bug, there are many duplicate folders in a file system. You are given a 2D array paths
, where paths[i]
is an array representing an absolute path to the ith
folder in the file system.
["one", "two", "three"]
represents the path "/one/two/three"
.Two folders (not necessarily on the same level) are identical if they contain the same non-empty set of identical subfolders and underlying subfolder structure. The folders do not need to be at the root level to be identical. If two or more folders are identical, then mark the folders as well as all their subfolders.
\n\n"/a"
and "/b"
in the file structure below are identical. They (as well as their subfolders) should all be marked:\n\n\t/a
/a/x
/a/x/y
/a/z
/b
/b/x
/b/x/y
/b/z
"/b/w"
, then the folders "/a"
and "/b"
would not be identical. Note that "/a/x"
and "/b/x"
would still be considered identical even with the added folder.Once all the identical folders and their subfolders have been marked, the file system will delete all of them. The file system only runs the deletion once, so any folders that become identical after the initial deletion are not deleted.
\n\nReturn the 2D array ans
containing the paths of the remaining folders after deleting all the marked folders. The paths may be returned in any order.
\n
Example 1:
\n\n\nInput: paths = [["a"],["c"],["d"],["a","b"],["c","b"],["d","a"]]\nOutput: [["d"],["d","a"]]\nExplanation: The file structure is as shown.\nFolders "/a" and "/c" (and their subfolders) are marked for deletion because they both contain an empty\nfolder named "b".\n\n\n
Example 2:
\n\n\nInput: paths = [["a"],["c"],["a","b"],["c","b"],["a","b","x"],["a","b","x","y"],["w"],["w","y"]]\nOutput: [["c"],["c","b"],["a"],["a","b"]]\nExplanation: The file structure is as shown. \nFolders "/a/b/x" and "/w" (and their subfolders) are marked for deletion because they both contain an empty folder named "y".\nNote that folders "/a" and "/c" are identical after the deletion, but they are not deleted because they were not marked beforehand.\n\n\n
Example 3:
\n\n\nInput: paths = [["a","b"],["c","d"],["c"],["a"]]\nOutput: [["c"],["c","d"],["a"],["a","b"]]\nExplanation: All folders are unique in the file system.\nNote that the returned array can be in a different order as the order does not matter.\n\n\n
