Problem: Valid Parentheses

Explore how to determine if a string of parentheses and brackets is valid by using a stack data structure in C#. Learn to implement an algorithm that checks for matching and properly nested brackets, gaining skills in stack usage and problem-solving with linear time and space complexity.

Statement

Given a string s consisting only of the characters '(', ')', '{', '}', '[', and ']', determine whether the string represents a valid sequence of brackets.

A string is considered valid if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

  • Every opening bracket is closed by a bracket of the same type.

  • Brackets are closed in the correct (properly nested) order.

  • Every closing bracket has a matching opening bracket of the same type.

Return true if the string is valid, and false otherwise.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq s.Length 104 ...
