Given a string S
of '('
and ')'
parentheses, we add the minimum number of parentheses ( '('
or ')'
, and in any positions ) so that the resulting parentheses string is valid.
Formally, a parentheses string is valid if and only if:
- It is the empty string, or
- It can be written as
AB
(A
concatenated withB
), whereA
andB
are valid strings, or - It can be written as
(A)
, whereA
is a valid string.
Given a parentheses string, return the minimum number of parentheses we must add to make the resulting string valid.
Example 1:
Input: "())"
Output: 1
Example 2:
Input: "((("
Output: 3
Example 3:
Input: "()"
Output: 0
Example 4:
Input: "()))((" Output: 4
class Solution { public int minAddToMakeValid(String S) { int res = S.length(); int left = 0, right = 0; for(char c : S.toCharArray()) { if(c == '(') { left++; } else { if(left > 0) { left--; res-=2; } } } return res; } }
右括号要匹配一定要有左括号在
