Problem: Valid Parentheses

Learn to validate bracket sequences by applying stack operations in JavaScript. This lesson explains how to check matching types and correct nesting of parentheses, braces, and brackets to return true or false. Understand the algorithm's time and space complexity as you implement an efficient solution for this common coding problem.

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 ...
