Leet Code 20 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.

【算法思路】

用栈。

public boolean isValid(String s) {
		int length = s.length();
		if(length % 2 == 1)
		{
			return false;
		}
		
		HashMap<Character, Character> map = new HashMap<Character, Character>();
		map.put('(', ')');
		map.put('{', '}');
		map.put('[', ']');
		
		Stack<Character> stack = new Stack<Character>();
		if(map.containsKey(s.charAt(0)))
	    	stack.push(s.charAt(0));
	    else
	        return false;
		
		for(int i = 1; i < length; i ++)
		{
			char ch = s.charAt(i);
			if(!stack.isEmpty() && (map.get(stack.peek()) == ch))
			{
				stack.pop();
			}
			else if(map.containsKey(ch))
				stack.push(ch);
			else return false;
			
			if(!stack.isEmpty() && (stack.size() > length - i))
				return false;
		}
		
		return stack.isEmpty();
	}
