# 20 Valid Parentheses (有圖)

Stack 就像疊盤子,先進後出

LeetCode

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

/**
 * @param {string} str
 * @return {boolean}
 */
var isValid = function(str) {}

Edge Case

  • 中間可能有除了 ( ) { } [ ] ,其他的符號或字母

  • 空值

怎麼解

需要了解 Stack 觀念

  • 遇到 { [ ( 就放到 stack 裡

  • 遇到 ) ] } 就去抓 stack 看有沒有相對應的 ( [ {

    • 若沒有就回傳 false

    • 若有就繼續檢查下一個

學到什麼

需要對資料結構跟語言本身相當了解才行 (例如,我若不知道 array.pop() 回傳的是被移掉那個值,我可能需要多好幾行程式碼去處理,處裡時同時又讓程式效能更差了 )
