Reverse Substrings Between Each Pair of Parentheses in C++
Suppose we have a string s that consists of lower case letters and brackets. We have to reverse the strings in each pair of matching parentheses, starting from the innermost one. And the result should not contain any brackets. So if the input is like "(hel(lowo)rld)", then the output will be "dlrlowoleh", so from the beginning, it is changed like: "(hel(lowo)rld)" → "(helowolrld)" → “dlrowoleh”.
To solve this, we will follow these steps −
n := size of string, make an array called par whose length is n, define a stack st
for i in range 0 to n – 1
if s[i] is opening parentheses, then insert i into st
otherwise when s[i] is closing parentheses, then j := st.pop(), par[i] := j and par[j] := i
Define one empty string ret
for i := 0, d := 1, i < n, increase i by d
if s[i] is opening parentheses or s[i] is closing parentheses, then i := par[i], d := -d otherwise increase ret by s[i]
return ret
Example (C++)
Let us see the following implementation to get a better understanding −
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
class Solution {
public:
void out(vector <int>& v){
for(int i = 0; i < v.size(); i++){
cout << v[i] << " " ;
}
cout << endl;
}
string reverseParentheses(string s) {
int n = s.size();
vector <int> par(n);
stack <int> st;
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){
if(s[i] == '('){
st.push(i);
}
else if(s[i] == ')'){
int j = st.top();
st.pop();
par[i] = j;
par[j] = i;
}
}
string ret = "";
for(int i = 0, d = 1; i < n; i += d){
if(s[i] == '(' || s[i] == ')'){
i = par[i];
d = -d;
}
else{
ret += s[i];
}
}
out(par);
return ret;
}
};
main(){
Solution ob;
cout << (ob.reverseParentheses("(hel(lowo)rld)"));
}Input
"(hel(lowo)rld)"
Output
13 0 0 0 9 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 dlrlowoleh
