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:
AB
(A
concatenated with B
),
where A
and B
are valid strings, or
(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.
Example 2:
Input: s = "a)b(c)d" Output: "ab(c)d"
Example 3:
Input: s = "))((" Output: "" Explanation: An empty string is also valid.
Example 4:
Input: s = "(a(b(c)d)" Output: "a(b(c)d)"
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 10^5
s[i]
is one of '('
, ')'
and lowercase English letters.
