Problem
A parentheses string is valid if and only if:
It is the empty string,
It can be written as
AB
(A
concatenated withB
), whereA
andB
are valid strings, orIt can be written as
(A)
, whereA
is a valid string.
You are given a parentheses string s
. In one move, you can insert a parenthesis at any position of the string.
- For example, if
s = "()))"
, you can insert an opening parenthesis to be"(**(**)))"
or a closing parenthesis to be"())**)**)"
.
Return **the minimum number of moves required to make *s
* valid**.
Example 1:
Input: s = "())"
Output: 1
Example 2:
Input: s = "((("
Output: 3
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 1000
s[i]
is either'('
or')'
.
Solution (Java)
class Solution {
public int minAddToMakeValid(String s) {
Deque<Character> stack = new ArrayDeque<>();
for (char c : s.toCharArray()) {
if (c == ')') {
if (!stack.isEmpty() && stack.peek() == '(') {
stack.pop();
} else {
stack.push(c);
}
} else {
stack.push(c);
}
}
return stack.size();
}
}
Explain:
nope.
Complexity:
- Time complexity : O(n).
- Space complexity : O(n).
