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.
class Solution {
public:
int minAddToMakeValid(string S) {
int left = 0, right = 0;
for (auto ch : S) {
if (ch == '(') {
left++;
} else if (ch == ')') {
if (left > 0) {
left--;
} else {
right++;
}
}
}
return left + right;
}
};
