20. Valid Parentheses （Python）

20. Valid Parentheses

Easy

Given a string containing just the characters '(', ')', '{', '}', '[' and ']', determine if the input string is valid.

An input string is valid if:

1. Open brackets must be closed by the same type of brackets.
2. 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

笔记：

这个题考查的是配对问题，使用栈来解决。另外需要主要输入的字符串为空的情况，返回True。注意要求返回的类型是Bool类型。

pyhton 中的list其实就是相当于一个栈。

class Solution(object):
    def isValid(self, s):
        """
        :type s: str
        :rtype: bool
        """
        if not s:
            return True
        char = {'(':1, ')':-1, '{':2, '}':-2, '[':3, ']':-3}
        stack_c = [s[0]]
        for c in s[1:]:
            if len(stack_c) != 0 and char[c] + char[stack_c[-1]] == 0:
                stack_c.pop()
            else:
                stack_c.append(c)
        if len(stack_c) == 0:
            return True
        return False
