Valid Parentheses

1、题目

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

2、求解一

    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();
    }

该方法的亮点是利用了stack的后进先出的特点
