问题描述：数据结构课上也做过的经典括号匹配问题。一共3种括号。

解题思路：可以用stack来解决。依次读取输入的符号，若为左括号，则压入stack;若为右括号，则pop出stack中第一个元素，看看是否匹配。符号读取完stack还有元素或者读取途中stack已经为空都要返回false。

#include <stack>
class Solution {
public:
    bool isValid(string s) {
        stack<char> p;
        for (int i=0; i<s.length(); i++) {
            switch (s[i]) {
                case '(': 
                case '{': 
                case '[': p.push(s[i]); break;
                case ')': if (p.empty() || p.top()!='(') return false; else p.pop(); break;
                case '}': if (p.empty() || p.top()!='{') return false; else p.pop(); break;
                case ']': if (p.empty() || p.top()!='[') return false; else p.pop(); break;
                default: ; // pass
            }
        }
        return p.empty() ;
    }
};
