Backspace Path Equality

Two explorers type their paths into a device. The device uses '@' as a backspace character (deletes the previous character). For example, 'abc@d' becomes 'abd'. Given two strings representing their typed paths, determine if they result in the same final path. Print 'TRUE' or 'FALSE'. Example: Input: a-b@c a-c Output: TRUE (Explanation: both result in 'a-c'.)
