LeetCode 678. Valid Parenthesis String

考点	难度
Greedy	Easy

题目

Given a string s containing only three types of characters: ‘(’, ‘)’ and ‘*’, return true if s is valid.

The following rules define a valid string:

Any left parenthesis ‘(’ must have a corresponding right parenthesis ‘)’.
Any right parenthesis ‘)’ must have a corresponding left parenthesis ‘(’.
Left parenthesis ‘(’ must go before the corresponding right parenthesis ‘)’.
‘*’ could be treated as a single right parenthesis ‘)’ or a single left parenthesis ‘(’ or an empty string “”.

思路

iterate一次，数左括号和右括号。如果右括号大于左括号，false。如果最后两个不相等，false。

答案

class Solution(object):
    def checkValidString(self, s):
        cmin = cmax = 0
        for i in s:
            if i == '(':
                cmax += 1
                cmin += 1
            if i == ')':
                cmax -= 1
                cmin = max(cmin - 1, 0)
            if i == '*':
                cmax += 1
                cmin = max(cmin - 1, 0)
            if cmax < 0:
                return False
        return cmin == 0
