LeetCode String 20 Valid Parentheses

20. Valid Parentheses

Given a string containing just the characters ‘(’, ‘)’, ‘{’, ‘}’, ‘[’ and ‘]’, determine if the input string is valid.

An input string is valid if:
Open brackets must be closed by the same type of brackets.
Open brackets must be closed in the correct order.
Note that an empty string is also considered valid.

Example 1:
Input: “()”
Output: true

Example 2:
Input: “()[]{}”
Output: true

Example 3:
Input: “(]”
Output: false

Example 4:
Input: “([)]”
Output: false

Example 5:
Input: “{[]}”
Output: true

solution

    public boolean isValid(String s) {
        Stack<Character> stack = new Stack<>();
        for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
            if (s.charAt(i) == '(' || s.charAt(i) == '[' || s.charAt(i) == '{') {
                stack.push(s.charAt(i));
            } else {
                if (stack.isEmpty()) return false;
                char tmp = stack.pop();
                if (tmp == '(' && s.charAt(i) == ')')
                    continue;
                else if (tmp == '[' && s.charAt(i) == ']')
                    continue;
                else if (tmp == '{' && s.charAt(i) == '}')
                    continue;
                else
                    return false;
            }
        }
        return stack.isEmpty();
    }

另一种写法：更为简洁

    public boolean isValid(String s) {
        Stack<Character> stack = new Stack<Character>();
        for (char c : s.toCharArray()) {
            if (c == '(')
                stack.push(')');
            else if (c == '{')
                stack.push('}');
            else if (c == '[')
                stack.push(']');
            else if (stack.isEmpty() || stack.pop() != c)
                return false;
        }
        return stack.isEmpty();
    }
