LeetCode-Remove Invalid Parentheses

Remove the minimum number of invalid parentheses in order to make the input string valid. Return all possible results.

Note: The input string may contain letters other than the parentheses ( and ).

Example 1:

Input: "()())()"
Output: ["()()()", "(())()"]
Example 2:

Input: "(a)())()"
Output: ["(a)()()", "(a())()"]
Example 3:

Input: ")("
Output: [""]

看到parenthese的问题，第一反应是用栈。这题要求minimum number，所以想到用BFS遍历解空间树。

思路为：

层次依次为删除0个元素，1个元素，2个元素。。。

层次遍历所有的可能。如果有一种可能是valid，那么不再遍历下面的层。
