1249. Minimum Remove to Make Valid Parentheses

中文文档

Description

Given a string s of '(' , ')' and lowercase English characters. 

Your task is to remove the minimum number of parentheses ( '(' or ')', in any positions ) so that the resulting parentheses string is valid and return any valid string.

Formally, a parentheses string is valid if and only if:

• It is the empty string, contains only lowercase characters, or
• It can be written as AB (A concatenated with B), where A and B are valid strings, or
• It can be written as (A), where A is a valid string.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "lee(t(c)o)de)"

Output: "lee(t(c)o)de"

Explanation: "lee(t(co)de)" , "lee(t(c)ode)" would also be accepted.

Example 2:

Input: s = "a)b(c)d"

Output: "ab(c)d"

Example 3:

Input: s = "))(("

Output: ""

Explanation: An empty string is also valid.

Example 4:

Input: s = "(a(b(c)d)"

Output: "a(b(c)d)"

 

Constraints:

• 1 <= s.length <= 10^5
• s[i] is one of  '(' , ')' and lowercase English letters.
