Given a string containing just the characters '('
and ')'
, find the length of the longest valid (well-formed) parentheses substring.
Example 1:
Input: "(()"
Output: 2
Explanation: The longest valid parentheses substring is "()"
Example 2:
Input: ")()())
" Output: 4 Explanation: The longest valid parentheses substring is"()()"
