mediumStackPattern: matching parentheses
Valid Coordinate Pairs Solution
Problem Statement
Given a string of coordinates in the format of (x, y), determine if the pairs of coordinates are properly nested. Every open parenthesis must have a corresponding close parenthesis.
Examples
Example 1:
Input:(1, 2) (3, 4)
Output:true
Explanation: The coordinates are properly nested with matching open and close parentheses.
Example 2:
Input:(1, 2) (3, 4))
Output:false
Explanation: There is an extra closing parenthesis which does not match any opening parenthesis.
Constraints
- The input string will contain at most 1000 sets of coordinates.
- Each set of coordinates will be in the format of (latitude, longitude) where latitude and longitude are decimal numbers between -90 and 90 and -180 and 180 respectively.
Time: O(n) Space: O(n)
The optimal approach involves using a stack data structure to keep track of the opening parentheses, allowing for a time complexity of O(n) and a space complexity of O(n). This approach is efficient and scalable for large inputs.
