32. Longest Valid Parentheses

中文文档

Description

Given a string containing just the characters '(' and ')', return the length of the longest valid (well-formed) parentheses substring.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "(()"
Output: 2
Explanation: The longest valid parentheses substring is "()".

Example 2:

Input: s = ")()())"
Output: 4
Explanation: The longest valid parentheses substring is "()()".

Example 3:

Input: s = ""
Output: 0

 

Constraints:

  • 0 <= s.length <= 3 * 104
  • s[i] is '(', or ')'.

Solutions

Solution 1: Dynamic Programming

We define $f[i]$ to be the length of the longest valid parentheses that ends with $s[i-1]$, and the answer is $max(f[i])$.

When $i \lt 2$, the length of the string is less than $2$, and there is no valid parentheses, so $f[i] = 0$.

When $i \ge 2$, we consider the length of the longest valid parentheses that ends with $s[i-1]$, that is, $f[i]$:

  • If $s[i-1]$ is a left parenthesis, then the length of the longest valid parentheses that ends with $s[i-1]$ must be $0$, so $f[i] = 0$.
  • If $s[i-1]$ is a right parenthesis, there are the following two cases:
    • If $s[i-2]$ is a left parenthesis, then the length of the longest valid parentheses that ends with $s[i-1]$ is $f[i-2] + 2$.
    • If $s[i-2]$ is a right parenthesis, then the length of the longest valid parentheses that ends with $s[i-1]$ is $f[i-1] + 2$, but we also need to consider whether $s[i-f[i-1]-2]$ is a left parenthesis. If it is a left parenthesis, then the length of the longest valid parentheses that ends with $s[i-1]$ is $f[i-1] + 2 + f[i-f[i-1]-2]$.

Therefore, we can get the state transition equation:

$$ \begin{cases} f[i] = 0, & \textit{if } s[i-1] = '(',\\ f[i] = f[i-2] + 2, & \textit{if } s[i-1] = ')' \textit{ and } s[i-2] = '(',\\ f[i] = f[i-1] + 2 + f[i-f[i-1]-2], & \textit{if } s[i-1] = ')' \textit{ and } s[i-2] = ')' \textit{ and } s[i-f[i-1]-2] = '(',\\ \end{cases} $$

Finally, we only need to return $max(f)$.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$, where $n$ is the length of the string.

            if c == ")":

Solution 2: Using Stack

  • Maintain a stack to store the indices of left parentheses. Initialize the bottom element of the stack with the value -1 to facilitate the calculation of the length of valid parentheses.
  • Iterate through each element of the string:
    • If the character is a left parenthesis, push the index of the character onto the stack.
    • If the character is a right parenthesis, pop an element from the stack to represent that we have found a valid pair of parentheses.
      • If the stack is empty, it means we couldn't find a left parenthesis to match the right parenthesis. In this case, push the index of the character as a new starting point.
      • If the stack is not empty, calculate the length of the valid parentheses and update it.

Summary:

The key to this algorithm is to maintain a stack to store the indices of left parentheses and then update the length of the valid substring of parentheses by pushing and popping elements.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$, where $n$ is the length of the string.
