YASH PAL, 31 July 202417 February 2026

In this HackerEarth Largest Balanced String problem solution An empty sequence is balanced.

A sequence of the form (A) or [A] or {A} is balanced if A is balanced.
A sequence of the form AB is balanced if A and B both are balanced.

You are given a string A, consisting of ‘(‘, ‘)’, ‘[‘, ‘]’, ‘{‘ and ‘}’ only. You have to find the maximum length of the balanced string after performing some valid operation(s). Valid operations are

Remove any character from string A
Swap any two adjacent characters of string A

You can perform these valid operations in any order and any numbers of times.
