Problem: Valid Parentheses

Explore how to use a stack to validate parentheses strings consisting of (), {}, and []. Learn to implement a solution that checks for correct matching and nesting order by pushing opening brackets and verifying closing ones, enhancing your understanding of stack operations and their application in problem-solving.

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 ...
