Given a string containing only three types of characters: '(', ')' and '*', write a function to check whether this string is valid. We define the validity of a string by these rules:
- Any left parenthesis
'('
must have a corresponding right parenthesis')'
. - Any right parenthesis
')'
must have a corresponding left parenthesis'('
. - Left parenthesis
'('
must go before the corresponding right parenthesis')'
. '*'
could be treated as a single right parenthesis')'
or a single left parenthesis'('
or an empty string.- An empty string is also valid.
Example 1:
Input: "()" Output: True
Example 2:
Input: "(*)" Output: True
Example 3:
Input: "(*))" Output: True
class Solution {
public boolean checkValidString(String s) {
Stack<Integer> st1 = new Stack<>();
Stack<Integer> st2 = new Stack<>();
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); ++i) {
char c = s.charAt(i);
if (c == '(')
st1.add(i);
else if (c == '*')
st2.add(i);
else {
if (!st1.isEmpty())
st1.pop();
else if (!st2.isEmpty())
st2.pop();
else
return false;
}
}
while (!st1.isEmpty()) {
int n1 = st1.pop();
if (st2.isEmpty())
return false;
int n2 = st2.pop();
if (n1 > n2)
return false;
}
return true;
}
}
