20. Valid Parentheses Leetcode Python

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.

这题需要用到stack.

做法是将'(' ‘[’和'{'依次入栈 当遇到与之对应的另外一半的括号时候就出栈。 如果不符合就返回false

最后当栈不是空的时候也是返回false

否则最后为true

1. we push '(', '[','{'  

2. when we encounter ')' ,']','}' we pop the stack.

3.if the parentheses do not match return false,   

4. if the final stack is not empty return false

5. return true

class Solution:
    # @return a boolean
    def isValid(self, s):
        stack=[]
        if len(s)==0:
            return True
        for elem in s:
            if elem=='(' or elem=='[' or elem=='{':
                stack.append(elem)
            if elem==')':
                if len(stack)==0 or stack and stack.pop()!='(':
                    return False
            elif elem==']':
                if len(stack)==0 or stack and stack.pop()!='[':
                    return False
            elif elem=='}':
                if len(stack)==0 or stack and stack.pop()!='{':
                    return False
        if len(stack)!=0:
            return False
        else:
            return True
