Validate Nested Signal Pairs Solution

Problem Statement

Given a sequence of signals represented as a list of strings, implement a function to determine if every opening signal is matched with a corresponding closing signal of the same type, and the signal pairs are properly nested.

Examples

Example 1:
Input:["<a>","<b>","</b>","</a>"]
Output:true
Example 2:
Input:["<a>","<b>","</a>","</b>"]
Output:false

Constraints

  • 1 <= sequence length <= 1000
  • 0 <= signal frequency <= 10000
Time: O(n) Space: O(n)
The optimal approach involves using a stack to keep track of the opening signals and their corresponding frequencies, allowing for a time complexity of O(n). This approach is more efficient and scalable for large input sequences.
