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.
public String minRemoveToMakeValid(String s) {
Stack<Character> ct = new Stack();
Stack<Integer> index = new Stack();
for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++){
if(s.charAt(i)=='('){
ct.add('(');
index.add(i);
}else if(s.charAt(i)==')'){
if(!ct.isEmpty() && ct.peek()=='('){
ct.pop();
index.pop();
}else{
index.add(i);
}
}
}
StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder();
int[] st = new int[s.length()];
while(!index.isEmpty()){
st[index.pop()] = 1;
}
for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++){
if(st[i]==0){
b.append(s.charAt(i));
}
}
return b.toString();
}
