Backspace String Compare - LeetCode
Given two strings s and t, return true if they are equal when both are typed into empty text editors. ‘#’ means a backspace character. Note that after backspacing an empty text, the text will continue empty.
Example 1: Input: s = “ab#c”, t = “ad#c” Output: true Explanation: Both s and t become “ac”. Example 2: Input: s = “ab##”, t = “c#d#” Output: true Explanation: Both s and t become “”. Example 3: Input: s = “a#c”, t = “b” Output: false Explanation: s becomes “c” while t becomes “b”.
Constraints:
1 <= s.length, t.length <= 200
s and t only contain lowercase letters and '#' characters.

elif stack: stack.pop()
return "".join(stack)
return build(s) == build(t)
