Minimum Remove to Make Valid Parentheses
1249. Minimum Remove to Make Valid Parentheses
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.
### Example 2: Input: s = "a)b(c)d" Output: "ab(c)d"
Constraints: 1 <= s.length <= 105 s[i] is either'(' , ')', or lowercase English letter.
/** * @param {string} s * @return {string} */ var minRemoveToMakeValid = function(s) { const out = [...s], open = []; for (let i = 0; i < s.length; i++) { if (s[i] === '(') { open.push(i); } else if (s[i] === ')') { open.length > 0 ? open.pop() : out[i] = ''; } } open.forEach(idx => out[idx] = ''); return out.join(''); };
