题目描述
给定一个只包括 '(',')','{','}','[',']' 的字符串,判断字符串是否有效。
有效字符串需满足:
左括号必须用相同类型的右括号闭合。
左括号必须以正确的顺序闭合。
注意空字符串可被认为是有效字符串。
示例
示例 1:
输入: "()"
输出: true
示例 2:
输入: "()[]{}"
输出: true
示例 3:
输入: "(]"
输出: false
示例 4:
输入: "([)]"
输出: false
示例 5:
输入: "{[]}"
输出: true
题解
使用栈的方式,当左括号进的时候都压栈,见到右括号弹出一个,如果括号匹配则继续,不匹配则字符串无效,最终栈中为空。
class Solution {
// Hash table that takes care of the mappings.
private HashMap<Character, Character> mappings;
// Initialize hash map with mappings. This simply makes the code easier to read.
public Solution() {
this.mappings = new HashMap<Character, Character>();
this.mappings.put(')', '(');
this.mappings.put('}', '{');
this.mappings.put(']', '[');
}
public boolean isValid(String s) {
// Initialize a stack to be used in the algorithm.
Stack<Character> stack = new Stack<Character>();
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
char c = s.charAt(i);
// If the current character is a closing bracket.
if (this.mappings.containsKey(c)) {
// Get the top element of the stack. If the stack is empty, set a dummy value of '#'
char topElement = stack.empty() ? '#' : stack.pop();
// If the mapping for this bracket doesn't match the stack's top element, return false.
if (topElement != this.mappings.get(c)) {
return false;
}
} else {
// If it was an opening bracket, push to the stack.
stack.push(c);
}
}
// If the stack still contains elements, then it is an invalid expression.
return stack.isEmpty();
}
}
