Leetcode Valid Parentheses problem solution

YASH PAL,

In this Leetcode Valid Parentheses problem solution we have given a string s containing just the characters ‘(‘, ‘)’, ‘{‘, ‘}’, ‘[‘ and ‘]’, determine if the input string is valid.

An input string is valid if:

  1. Open brackets must be closed by the same type of brackets.
  2. Open brackets must be closed in the correct order.

Problem solution in Python.

class Solution:
    def isValid(self, s: str) -> bool:
        stack = []
        dic = {'(': ')', '[': ']', '{': '}'}
        for c in s:
            if stack and stack[-1] in "([{" and dic[stack[-1]] == c:
                stack.pop()
            else:
                stack.append(c)
        return not stack

Problem solution in Java.

        Stack<Character> stk=new Stack<>();
        for(char c:s.toCharArray())
        {
            if(c=='(' || c=='{' || c=='[')
            {
                stk.push(c);
