+/**
+ * Equations are given in the format A / B = k, where A and B are variables represented as strings,
+ * and k is a real number (floating point number). Given some queries, return the answers.
+ *
+ * If the answer does not exist, return -1.0.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ * Given a / b = 2.0, b / c = 3.0.
+ * queries are: a / c = ?, b / a = ?, a / e = ?, a / a = ?, x / x = ? .
+ * return [6.0, 0.5, -1.0, 1.0, -1.0 ].
+ *
+ * The input is: vector<pair<string, string>> equations, vector<double>& values,
+ * vector<pair<string, string>> queries , where equations.size() == values.size(),
+ * and the values are positive. This represents the equations. Return vector<double>.
+ *
+ * According to the example above:
+ *
+ * equations = [ ["a", "b"], ["b", "c"] ],
+ * values = [2.0, 3.0],
+ * queries = [ ["a", "c"], ["b", "a"], ["a", "e"], ["a", "a"], ["x", "x"] ].
+ *
+ * The input is always valid. You may assume that evaluating the queries will result in no division
+ * by zero and there is no contradiction.
