20. Valid Parentheses

Description:

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.


Solution:

1. How to match?

Use Stack to match.

Every time you input a ( , [ or { , you can push a ) , ] or } into the stack to match later.

Also, we need to check the null at last. // return stack.isEmpty();


Code:

public boolean isValid(String s) {
	Stack<Character> stack = new Stack<Character>();
	for (char c : s.toCharArray()) {
		if (c == '(')
			stack.push(')');
		else if (c == '{')
			stack.push('}');
		else if (c == '[')
			stack.push(']');
		else if (stack.isEmpty() || stack.pop() != c)
			return false;
	}
	return stack.isEmpty();
}

Lesson learned:

1. Stack

2. Check the null.
