Valid Parentheses

Updated: Jan 20, 2021

Given a string s containing just the characters '(', ')', '{', '}', '[' and ']', determine if the input string is valid. An input string is valid if:

  1. Open brackets must be closed by the same type of brackets.

  2. Open brackets must be closed in the correct order.

Example 1: Input: s = "()" Output: true Example 2: Input: s = "()[]{}" Output: true Example 3: Input: s = "(]" Output: false Example 4: Input: s = "([)]" Output: false Example 5: Input: s = "{[]}" Output: true Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 104

  • s consists of parentheses only '()[]{}'.

Solution:


class Solution {
    public boolean isValid(String s) {
     Map<Character,Character> map = new HashMap<Character,Character>();
        Stack<Character> stack = new Stack<>();
        map.put('}','{');
        map.put(']','[');
        map.put(')','(');
        
        for(char c:s.toCharArray())
        {
            if(map.containsKey(c))
            {
                if(!stack.isEmpty())
                {
                    if(stack.pop()!=map.get(c)) return false;
                }
                else
                return false;
            }  
            else
            stack.push(c);
        }
        return stack.isEmpty();

    }
}
