Problem
Your friend is typing his name
into a keyboard. Sometimes, when typing a character c
, the key might get long pressed, and the character will be typed 1 or more times.
You examine the typed
characters of the keyboard. Return True
if it is possible that it was your friends name, with some characters (possibly none) being long pressed.
Example 1:
Input: name = "alex", typed = "aaleex" Output: true Explanation: 'a' and 'e' in 'alex' were long pressed.
Example 2:
Input: name = "saeed", typed = "ssaaedd" Output: false Explanation: 'e' must have been pressed twice, but it was not in the typed output.
Constraints:
1 <= name.length, typed.length <= 1000
name
andtyped
consist of only lowercase English letters.
