1496. Path Crossing
Easy
Given a string
path
, where path[i] = 'N'
, 'S'
, 'E'
or 'W'
, each representing moving one unit north, south, east, or west, respectively. You start at the origin (0, 0)
on a 2D plane and walk on the path specified by path
.Return
true
if the path crosses itself at any point, that is, if at any time you are on a location you have previously visited. Return false
otherwise.Example 1:

Input: path = "NES"
Output:
false
Explanation:
Notice that the path doesn't cross any point more than once.
Example 2:

Input: path = "NESWW"
Output:
true
Explanation:
Notice that the path visits the origin twice.
Constraints:
1 <= path.length <= 104
path[i]
is either'N'
,'S'
,'E'
, or'W'
.
