A string S consisting of N characters is considered to be properly nested if any of the following conditions is true:
- S is empty;
- S has the form "(U)" or "[U]" or "{U}" where U is a properly nested string;
- S has the form "VW" where V and W are properly nested strings.
For example, the string "{[()()]}" is properly nested but "([)()]" is not.
Write a function:
function solution(S);
that, given a string S consisting of N characters, returns 1 if S is properly nested and 0 otherwise.
For example, given S = "{[()()]}", the function should return 1 and given S = "([)()]", the function should return 0, as explained above.
Assume that:
- N is an integer within the range [0..200,000];
- string S consists only of the following characters: "(", "{", "[", "]", "}" and/or ")".
Complexity:
- expected worst-case time complexity is O(N);
- expected worst-case space complexity is O(N) (not counting the storage required for input arguments).
function solution(S) {
var brackets = {
"{": "}",
"(": ")",
"[": "]"
}
var closedBrackets = ["}", ")", "]"]
var stack = [];
for (var i =0; i < S.length; i++) {
if (brackets.hasOwnProperty(S[i])) {
stack.push(S[i])
} else if (brackets[stack[stack.length -1]] == S[i]) {
stack.pop()
} else if (closedBrackets.indexOf(S[i]) !== -1) {
return 0
}
}
return stack.length === 0 ? 1 : 0
}
