一、题目

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
Example 3:
  Input: "(]"
  Output: false
Example 4:
  Input: "([)]"
  Output: false
Example 5:
  Input: "{[]}"
  Output: true

二、解题思路

1、利用List集合实现一个栈;
2、将字符串s转换成字符数组,并循环遍历;
3、如果字符为:"{、(、["中的一个,则存入集合中;
4、如果字符为:"}、)、]"中的一个,则取出集合中最后一个元素进行比较;
5、如能匹配上,则删除集合中最后一个元素,否则返回false;
6、最后判断集合大小是否为0,如是则返回true。

三、代码实现

public boolean isValid(String s) { if ("".equals(s)) { return true; } else { Map<Character, Character> parentheseMap = new HashMap<Character, Character>(); parentheseMap.put(')', '('); parentheseMap.put(']', '['); parentheseMap.put('}', '{'); char[] sArr = s.toCharArray(); List<Character> stackList = new ArrayList<Character>(); for (int i = 0; i < sArr.length; i++) { if (sArr[i] == '(' || sArr[i] == '[' || sArr[i] == '{') { stackList.add(sArr[i]); } else { if (stackList.size() == 0) { return false; } else { char temp = stackList.get(stackList.size() - 1); if (temp == parentheseMap.get(sArr[i])) { stackList.remove(stackList.size() - 1); } else { return false; } } } } return stackList.size() == 0 ? true : false; }}
