Equal Rational Numbers

MathString

Problem Statement

Given s and t representing nonnegative rational numbers, return whether their values are equal. A representation may be an integer alone, an integer followed by a decimal point and a possibly empty nonrepeating part, or that decimal form followed by a nonempty repeating part in parentheses. The parenthesized digits repeat forever. Compare the represented numbers rather than their spellings; repeating 9s may represent a terminating value.

Examples

# Example 1

Input
s = "0.(52)", t = "0.5(25)"
Output
true

# Example 2

Input
s = "0.1666(6)", t = "0.166(66)"
Output
true

# Example 3

Input
s = "0.9(9)", t = "1."
Output
true

Constraints

Each part consists only of digits.
The <IntegerPart> does not have leading zeros (except for the zero itself).
1 <= <IntegerPart>.length <= 4
0 <= <NonRepeatingPart>.length <= 4
1 <= <RepeatingPart>.length <= 4
