Beautiful Bracket String

Concepts Used:

Stack

Difficulty Level:

Medium.

Problem Statement :

Find the minimum number of replacements required to make the given string of braces balanced.

See original problem statement here

Example:

Input:
}{
{}{}{}
{{{}

Output:
1. 2
2. 0
3. 1

Solving Approach:

  1. This is very similar to the problem where we had to check where the given string of braces is balanced.

  2. This question is just a modification of it.

  3. Unlike that problem,here you have to push the closing brace ‘}’ also to the stack if the top of the stack of the stack already contains a closing brace.

  4. Once done with traversing the entire list, traverse the stack until it’s empty.

  1. If the two topmost elements are same, add 1 to the counter ,for example – ({,{); (},}).

  2. If the two topmost elements are different, add 2 to the counter if the combination is {,}. because this gives an unbalanced string and both the braces need to be replaced.

  3. If the two topmost elements are different, add 0 to the counter if the combination is },{ because it is already balanced.
