Leetcode: Simplify Path

Given an absolute path for a file (Unix-style), simplify it.

For example,
path = "/home/", => "/home"
path = "/a/./b/../../c/", => "/c"

click to show corner cases.

Corner Cases:

• Did you consider the case where path = "/../"?
  In this case, you should return "/".
• Another corner case is the path might contain multiple slashes '/' together, such as "/home//foo/".
  In this case, you should ignore redundant slashes and return "/home/foo".

Use stack to store each path name between "/". If ".." appears, pop the stack, if "." appears, do nothing, else push that path name into the stack. When this is done, send the names to a string, and add "/" between them.

public class Solution {
    public String simplifyPath(String path) {
        if (path == null || path.length() == 0) {
            return path;
        }
        
        Stack<String> stack = new Stack<String>();
        int i = 0;
        while (i < path.length()) {
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            while (i < path.length() && path.charAt(i) != '/') {
                sb.append(path.charAt(i));
                i++;
            }
            
            String temp = sb.toString();
            if (!temp.isEmpty()) {
                if (temp.equals("..")) {
                    if (!stack.isEmpty()) {
                        stack.pop();
                    }
                } else if (!temp.equals(".")) {
                    stack.push(temp);
                }
            }
            i++;
        }
        
        StringBuilder res = new StringBuilder();
        while (!stack.isEmpty()) {
            res.insert(0, "/" + stack.pop());
        }
        
        if (res.length() == 0) {
        	return "/";
        }
        return res.toString();
    }
