第29题 Valid Parentheses

Given a string containing just the characters '(', ')', '{', '}', '[' and ']', determine if the input string is valid.

The brackets must close in the correct order, "()" and "()[]{}" are all valid but "(]" and "([)]" are not.

  Stack String

Solution in Java:

public class Solution {
    public boolean isValid(String s) {
        char[] arrayS = s.toCharArray();
        Map<Character,Character> brackets = new HashMap<Character,Character>();
        brackets.put('(',')');
        brackets.put('[',']');
        brackets.put('{','}');
        Stack<Character> sStack = new Stack<Character>();
        for(int i=0; i<arrayS.length; i++){
            if(arrayS[i]=='('||arrayS[i]=='['||arrayS[i]=='{')  sStack.push(arrayS[i]);
            else{
                if(!sStack.empty()){
                    char cur = sStack.pop();
                    if(brackets.get(cur)!=arrayS[i]) return false;    
                }
                else{
                    return false;
                }
            }
        }
        if(sStack.empty())
            return true;
        return false;
    }
}

Note:

Java中的Stack,Map,List等容器只能放Object，而char，int为基本类型，所以容器中不能储存，要用相应的对象Character和Integer。Map中插入元素用put(key,value)，获得相应key的value用map.get(key)。如果在检查中间发现栈为空，说明括号不配对。如果在遍历结束后发现栈不是空，说明左括号有富余，也不配对。
