Is it the same text?

Problem

Two people typed the same thing, but one used capitals and the other one left an extra space at the end. Write a function that takes two texts and returns true if they are the same, ignoring upper and lower case and the spaces on the sides: "Hello" and " hello " are the same.

Spaces in the middle do count, and two empty texts are the same.

Examples

  • "Hello", " hello " → true

  • "cat", "dog" → false

  • " YES ", "yes" → true

  • A space in the middle

    "two words", "twowords" → false
