Parenthesis Brackets Matching using Stack algorithm

Question

For example if the parenthesis brackets is matching in the following                      and so on but if the parenthesis brackets is not matching it should return false  eg                      and so on  Can you please check this code  Thanks in advance   public static boolean isParenthesisMatch String str        Stack lt Character gt  stack   new Stack lt Character gt          char c      for int i 0  i  lt  str length    i              c   str charAt i            if c                     return false           if c                     stack push c            if c                       stack push c               if c                         if stack empty                        return false                  else if stack peek                               stack pop                      else if c                     if stack empty                    return false              else if stack peek                               stack pop                    else                     return false                    return stack empty       public static void main String   args                String str               System out println Weekly12 parenthesisOtherMatching str

Ganesan s answer above is not correct and StackOverflow is not letting me comment or Edit his post  So below is the correct answer  Ganesan has an incorrect facing     and is missing the stack isEmpty   check    The below code will return true if the braces are properly matching   public static boolean isValidExpression String expression        Map lt Character  Character gt  openClosePair   new HashMap lt Character  Character gt         openClosePair put                openClosePair put                openClosePair put                 Stack lt Character gt  stack   new Stack lt Character gt         for char ch   expression toCharArray              if openClosePair containsKey ch                 if stack isEmpty      stack pop      openClosePair get ch                     return false                          else if openClosePair values   contains ch                 stack push ch                        return stack isEmpty

The algorithm    scan the string pushing to a stack for every     found in the string  if char     scanned  pop one     from the stack   Now  parentheses are balanced for two conditions        can be popped from the stack for every     found in the string  and stack is empty at the end  when the entire string is processed

Algorithm to use for checking well balanced parenthesis -   Declare a map matchingParenMap and initialize it with closing and opening bracket of each type as the key-value pair respectively  Declare a set openingParenSet and initialize it with the values of matchingParenMap  Declare a stack parenStack which will store the opening brackets           and      Now traverse the string expression input    If the current character is an opening bracket                   then push it to the  parenStack  If the current character is a closing bracket                   then pop from  parenStack and if the popped character is equal to the matching starting bracket in  matchingParenMap then continue looping else return false   After complete traversal if no opening brackets are left in parenStack it means it is a well balanced expression    I have explained the code snippet of the algorithm used on my blog  Check link - http   hetalrachh home blog 2019 12 25 stack-data-structure

You re doing some extra checks that aren t needed  Doesn t make any diff to functionality  but a cleaner way to write your code would be   public static boolean isParenthesisMatch String str        Stack lt Character gt  stack   new Stack lt Character gt         char c       for  int i   0  i  lt  str length    i              c   str charAt i           if  c           c                     stack push c           else if  stack empty                return false          else if  c                       if  stack pop                           return false            else if  c                       if  stack pop                           return false                      return stack empty        There is no reason to peek at a paranthesis before removing it from the stack  I d also consider wrapping instruction blocks in parantheses to improve readability

Actually  there is no need to check any cases  manually   You can just run the following algorithm    Iterate over the given sequence  Start with an empty stack  If the current char is an opening bracket  just push it to the stack  If it s a closing bracket  check that the stack is not empty and the top element of the step is an appropriate opening bracket that it is  matches this one   If it is not  report an error  Otherwise  pop the top element from the stack  In the end  the sequence is correct iff the stack is empty    Why is it correct  Here is a sketch of a proof  if this algorithm reported that the sequence is corrected  it had found a matching pair of all brackets  Thus  the sequence is indeed correct by definition  If it has reported an error     If the stack was not empty in the end  the balance of opening and closing brackets is not zero  Thus  it is not a correct sequence  If the stack was empty when we had to pop an element  the balance is off again  If there was a wrong element on top of the stack  a pair of  wrong  brackets should match each other  It means that the sequence is not correct    I have shown that     If the algorithm has reported that the sequence is correct  it is correct  If the algorithm has reported that the sequence is not correct  it is incorrect note that I do not use the fact that there are no other cases except those that are mentioned in your question      This two points imply that this algorithm works for all possible inputs

in java you don t want to compare the string or char by    signs  you would use equals method  equalsIgnoreCase or something of the like  if you use    it must point to the same memory location  In the method below I attempted to use ints to get around this  using ints here from the string index since every opening brace has a closing brace  I wanted to use location match instead of a comparison match  But i think with this you have to be intentional in where you place the characters of the string  Lets also consider that Yes   true and No   false for simplicity  This answer assumes that you passed an array of strings to inspect and required an array of if yes  they matched  or No  they didn t   import java util Stack        public static void main String   args           String   arrayOfBraces   new String                                                           Example       is balanced        Example        is not balanced         Examples           is balanced                  is balanced                 is  not  balanced      String   arrayOfBraces    new String                                                                               String   answers          new String arrayOfBraces length            String openers                       String closers                       String stringToInspect             Stack lt String gt  stack       new Stack lt String gt           for  int i   0  i  lt  arrayOfBraces length  i               stringToInspect   arrayOfBraces i           for  int j   0  j  lt  stringToInspect length    j                              if stack isEmpty                     if  openers indexOf stringToInspect charAt j   gt  0                        stack push    stringToInspect charAt j                                         else                      answers i    NO                       j stringToInspect length                                                                   else if openers indexOf stringToInspect charAt j   gt  0                   stack push    stringToInspect charAt j                                 else                  String comparator   stack pop                    int compLoc   openers indexOf comparator                   int thisLoc   closers indexOf stringToInspect charAt j                     if  compLoc    thisLoc                        answers i    NO                       j stringToInspect length                                                           else                      if stack empty    amp  amp   j   stringToInspect length  -1                            answers i    YES                                                                              System out println answers length                for  int j   0  j  lt  answers length  j              System out println answers j
