Given a string s of '('
, ')'
and lowercase English characters.
Your task is to remove the minimum number of parentheses ( '('
or ')'
, in any positions ) so that the resulting parentheses string is valid and return any valid string.
Formally, a parentheses string is valid if and only if:
<li>It is the empty string, contains only lowercase characters, or</li>
<li>It can be written as <code>AB</code> (<code>A</code> concatenated with <code>B</code>), where <code>A</code> and <code>B</code> are valid strings, or</li>
<li>It can be written as <code>(A)</code>, where <code>A</code> is a valid string.</li>
Example 1:
Input: s = "lee(t(c)o)de)" Output: "lee(t(c)o)de" Explanation: "lee(t(co)de)" , "lee(t(c)ode)" would also be accepted.
Example 2:
Input: s = "a)b(c)d" Output: "ab(c)d"
Example 3:
Input: s = "))((" Output: "" Explanation: An empty string is also valid.
Example 4:
Input: s = "(a(b(c)d)" Output: "a(b(c)d)"
Constraints:
<li><code>1 <= s.length <= 10^5</code></li>
<li><code>s[i]</code> is one of <code>'('</code> , <code>')'</code> and lowercase English letters<code>.</code></li>
