Description
Compare two version numbers version1 and version2.
If version1 > version2 return 1; if version1 < version2 return -1;otherwise return 0.
You may assume that the version strings are non-empty and contain only digits and the . character.
The . character does not represent a decimal point and is used to separate number sequences.
For instance, 2.5 is not “two and a half” or “half way to version three”, it is the fifth second-level revision of the second first-level revision.
You may assume the default revision number for each level of a version number to be 0. For example, version number 3.4 has a revision number of 3 and 4 for its first and second level revision number. Its third and fourth level revision number are both 0.
Example
Example 1:1
2Input: version1 = "0.1", version2 = "1.1"
Output: -1
Example 2:1
2Input: version1 = "1.0.1", version2 = "1"
Output: 1
Example 3:1
2Input: version1 = "7.5.2.4", version2 = "7.5.3"
Output: -1
Example 4:1
2
3Input: version1 = "1.01", version2 = "1.001"
Output: 0
Explanation: Ignoring leading zeroes, both “01” and “001" represent the same number “1”
Example 5:1
2
3
4
5
6Input: version1 = "1.0", version2 = "1.0.0"
Output: 0
Explanation: The first version number does not have a third level revision number, which means its third level revision number is default to "0"
```
**Note:**
Version strings are composed of numeric strings separated by dots . and this numeric strings may have leading zeroes.
Version strings do not start or end with dots, and they will not be two consecutive dots.1

## Solution
```java
class Solution {
// public List<String> convert(String version){
// char[] v = version.toCharArray();
// String seperateTemp = "";
// List<String> tempNum = new ArrayList<String>();
// for (char ch : v){
// if (seperateTemp.length() == 0 && ch == '0') continue;
// if (ch == '.' && seperateTemp.length() > 0){
// tempNum.add(seperateTemp);
// seperateTemp = "";
// }
// else if (ch == '.' && seperateTemp.length() == 0){
// tempNum.add("0");
// }
// else seperateTemp += ch;
// }
// if (seperateTemp.length() == 0) tempNum.add("0");
// else tempNum.add(seperateTemp);
// return tempNum;
// }
public int compareVersion(String version1, String version2) {
// stupid method
// List<String> num1 = new ArrayList<String>(convert(version1));
// List<String> num2 = new ArrayList<String>(convert(version2));
// while (num1.size() > num2.size()){
// num2.add("0");
// }
// while (num1.size() < num2.size()){
// num1.add("0");
// }
// for (int i = 0; i < num1.size(); i++){
// int a = Integer.parseInt(num1.get(i));
// int b = Integer.parseInt(num2.get(i));
// if (a > b) return 1;
// else if (a < b) return -1;
// }
// return 0;
// method 2: but if 1.11111111111111111111111.1??
// String[] levels1 = version1.split("\\.");
// String[] levels2 = version2.split("\\.");
// int length = Math.max(levels1.length, levels2.length);
// for (int i=0; i<length; i++) {
// Integer v1 = i < levels1.length ? Integer.parseInt(levels1[i]) : 0;
// Integer v2 = i < levels2.length ? Integer.parseInt(levels2[i]) : 0;
// int compare = v1.compareTo(v2);
// if (compare != 0) {
// return compare;
// }
// }
// return 0;
// Method 3: final good method
String[] levels1 = version1.split("\\.");
String[] levels2 = version2.split("\\.");
int length = Math.max(levels1.length, levels2.length);
for (int i=0; i<length; i++) {

while (v1.charAt(0) == '0' && v1.length() > 1) v1 = v1.substring(1, v1.length());
while (v2.charAt(0) == '0' && v2.length() > 1) v2 = v2.substring(1, v2.length());
if (v1.length() > v2.length()) return 1;
else if (v1.length() < v2.length()) return -1;
for (int j=0; j < v1.length(); j++){
if (v1.charAt(j) > v2.charAt(j)) return 1;
else if (v1.charAt(j) < v2.charAt(j)) return -1;
}
}
return 0;
