[https://leetcode.com/problems/generate-parentheses/]
Given n pairs of parentheses, write a function to generate all combinations of well-formed parentheses.

For example, given n = 3, a solution set is:

“((()))”, “(()())”, “(())()”, “()(())”, “()()()”

思路

递归

Code

package q022;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class Solution {

    public List<String> generateParenthesis(int n) {
        List<String> ans = new ArrayList<String>();
        helper(ans, "", n, n);
        return ans;
    }

    public void helper(List<String> ans, String tmp, int n, int m) {
        if (n == 0 && m == 0)
            ans.add(new String(tmp));
        if (n >= 1)
            helper(ans, tmp + "(", n - 1, m);
        if (m >= 1 && n < m)
            helper(ans, tmp + ")", n, m - 1);

    }
