Need to check that braces in given array are balanced or not

问题


Braces in a string are considered to be balanced if they met the following conditions,

  1. All braces must be closed. braces come in a pair of the form of (), {}, []. The left brace opens the pair and the right one closes it.
  2. In any set of nested braces, the braces between any pair must be closed.

For example, [{}] is a valid grouping of braces but [}]{} is not.

I tried with the below code snippet but not getting the expected result,

let firstBracketOpening = "("
let firstBracketClosing = ")"

let secondBracketOpening = "{"
let secondBracketClosing = "}"

let thirdBracketOpening = "["
let thirdBracketClosing = "]"

func check(for braces: String) -> Bool {
    var isMissing = false
    for char in brace {
        isMissing = contains(char: char, in: brace)
        if isMissing {
            break
        }
    }        
    return isMissing ? false : true
}

func contains(char: Character, in string: String) -> Bool {
    var isMissing = false

    if firstBracketOpening.contains(char) {
        isMissing = string.contains(firstBracketClosing) ? false : true
    }

    if secondBracketOpening.contains(char) {
        isMissing = string.contains(secondBracketClosing) ? false : true
    }

    if thirdBracketOpening.contains(char) {
        isMissing = string.contains(thirdBracketClosing) ? false : true
    }

    return isMissing
}

Any lead to the solution will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

import Foundation

extension String {

    func isBalanced() -> Bool {
        switch self.filter("()[]{}".contains)
            .replacingOccurrences(of: "()", with: "")
            .replacingOccurrences(of: "[]", with: "")
            .replacingOccurrences(of: "{}", with: "") {
        case "": return true
        case self: return false
        case let next: return next.isBalanced()
        }
    }

}

To explain:

  1. filter("()[]{}".contains) removes any characters except the delimiters. It means the same as filter({ c in "()[]{}".contains(c) }).

  2. Any finite-length, non-empty balanced string must contain one or more empty delimiter pairs ((), [], or {}). Deleting all empty pairs doesn't change the balanced-ness of the string. So delete any such empty pairs using replacingOccurrences(of:with:).

  3. If, after deleting all empty pairs, you have an empty string, then you started with a balanced string, so return true.

  4. If, after deleting all empty pairs, you didn't actually remove any empty pairs (and you don't have an empty string), then you must have an unbalanced delimiter, so return false.

  5. If, after deleting all empty pairs, you removed at least one pair, then you might now have new empty pairs. For example, deleting the empty pairs of [({})][({})] gives [()][()], which has new empty pairs. So try to do more deleting by calling isBalanced tail-recursively.

Here is the solution I came up with:

func checkParentheses(s: String) -> Bool {
    let pairs: [Character: Character] = ["(": ")", "[": "]", "{": "}"]
    var stack: [Character] = []
    for char in s {
        if let match = pairs[char] {
            stack.append(match)
        } else if stack.last == char {
            stack.popLast()
        } else {
            return false
        }
    }
    return stack.isEmpty
}

Test Cases:

print(checkParentheses(s: "((({[]})))")) // True (Balanced)
print(checkParentheses(s: "((({[]}))")) // False (Not Balanced)
print(checkParentheses(s: "(]")) // False (Not Balanced)

All we are doing here is iterating over each Character in the String. If we find a starting parenthesis ie. "(", then we push the ending parenthesis to the stack ie. ")". We do this as long as the current character is a starting parenthesis.

Once we find an ending parenthesis, it must be the last character in the stack based on how we were adding them. If this is true, then the parentheses were valid and we may proceed.

If none of the above are true, we either have an invalid character (not a parentheses) or a case where the parenthesis aren't balanced. With that being said, we can return false here.

After iterating over every character in the String our stack will be empty if the parentheses were balanced. If the stack isn't empty this means the parentheses weren't balanced.

To do this right, you need a stack to maintain the opening braces. When you get an opening brace, push it onto the stack. When you get a closing brace, pop off the top opening brace from the stack and check that they match. When you are done parsing the string, the stack should be empty.

enum Balance {
    case balanced
    case unbalanced(String)
}

func checkBalance(_ str: String) -> Balance {
    var stack = [Character]()

    for char in str {
        if ["{", "(", "["].contains(char) {
            stack.append(char)
        } else if ["}", ")", "]"].contains(char) {
            if let top = stack.popLast() {
                switch (top, char) {
                case ("{", "}"), ("(", ")"), ("[", "]"):
                    break
                default:
                    return .unbalanced("mismatched braces: \(top), \(char)")
                }
            } else {
                return .unbalanced("unexpected close brace: \(char)")
            }
        }
    }
    if !stack.isEmpty {
        return .unbalanced("missing \(stack.count) closing braces")
    }
    return .balanced
}

Tests:

checkBalance("{ [ ( ) ] }")
.balanced
checkBalance("{ [ ] { } }")
.balanced
checkBalance("[(")
.unbalanced("missing 2 closing braces")
checkBalance("{ [ ( ) }")
.unbalanced("mismatched braces: [, }")
checkBalance("}")
.unbalanced("unexpected close brace: }")

Note:

checkBalance returns an enum of type Balance. To check if the result is .balanced, you'd do that like this:

if case .balanced = checkBalance("() { [ ] }") {
    // handle balanced case
} 

or you can use a switch:

switch checkBalance("() { [ ] }") {
case .balanced:
    // do something if balanced
case .unbalanced(let reason):
    print("Not balanced: \(reason)")
}

Just for fun. May not hold long strings(~ 60 levels of left characters, but great for most editing cases ideally).

It’s same as the stack way. 2 integers constructs a stack. 00 is empty, 11, 01, 10 of each rightest digits representing “(“ “[“ and “{”. Tell me if there’s error. Hopefully it runs faster than a conceptual stack.

For example , "(({}[]))" Initially, it's 0 0 as both stack integers.

        0 0
 "(" -> 1 1.  (  0<<1 + 1 , 0<<1 + 1 ) //push
 "(" -> 3 3   (  1<<1 + 1 , 1<<1 + 1 ) //push
 "{" -> 7 6.  (  3<<1 + 1,  3<<1 + 0 ) //push
 "}" -> 3 3.  (  7>>1 ,  6 >>1) //pop
 "[" -> 6 7.  (  3<<1 + 0, 3<<1 + 1) //push
 "]" -> 3 3.  (  6>>1 , 7>>1 ) //pop
 ")" -> 1 1.  (  3>>1 , 3>>1 ) //pop
 ")" -> 0 0.  (  1>>1 , 1>>1 ) //pop

It's balanced.

    func test(_ s: String) -> Bool{
        var os1 : Int = 0;   var os2 : Int = 0
        for c in s{
            switch (c, os1 & 0x1, os2 & 0x1) {
            case ("(",_,_):  os1 <<= 0x1 ;  os1 |= 0x1 ; os2 <<= 0x1 ; os2 |= 0x1
            case ("[",_,_):  os1 <<= 0x1 ;  os1 |= 0x0 ; os2 <<= 0x1 ; os2 |= 0x1
            case ("{", _,_): os1 <<= 0x1 ;  os1 |= 0x1 ; os2 <<= 0x1 ; os2 |= 0x0
            case (")",0x1, 0x1), ("]",0x0, 0x1),("}",0x1, 0x0):  os1 >>= 0x1 ;  os2 >>= 0x1
            case (")",_ ,_),("]", _, _), ("}", _, _):  return false
            default: break
            }
        }
        return os1 == 0 && os2 == 0
    }


    print (test("[((([])))]"))
    print (test("[[[[]]]][[[[]]]]")) 

Other characters will be passed, so this can be used in developing situation.

    print (test("[((hello([]))my)]"))

Aand, a fully FP solution, using a stack to keep track of the unbalanced parentheses:

extension StringProtocol {
    func correctlyClosedParentheses() -> Bool {
        return reduce([Character]()) { stack, char in
            switch (char, stack.last) {
            // opening parentheses, we don't care about the top of the stack
            case ("(", _), ("[", _), ("{", _): return stack + [char]
                
            // closing parentheses, we do care about the top of the stack
            case (")", "("), ("]", "["), ("}", "{"): return stack.dropLast()
                
            // closing parentheses that failed the top of the stack check
            // we just accumulate them to make sure the stack is invalid
            case (")", _), ("]", _), ("}", _): return stack + [char]
                
            // other characters, we don't care about them
            default: return stack
            }
        }.isEmpty
    }
}
