Problem: Valid Parentheses

Explore how to determine if a string of parentheses is valid by applying stack operations in Java. Learn to identify matching brackets and enforce correct nesting order while handling edge cases and empty stacks.

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\leq 10^4 ...
