Valid String Problem Statement
You are provided with a string S
containing only three types of characters: (')
, )')
, and *
.
Explanation:
A Valid String is characterized by the following conditions:
1. Each left parenthesis '(' must have a corresponding right parenthesis ')'.
2. Each right parenthesis ')' must have a corresponding left parenthesis '('.
3. A left parenthesis '(' must appear before its corresponding right parenthesis ')'.
4. The asterisk '*' can be considered as either a right parenthesis ')', a left parenthesis '(', or an empty string.
5. An empty string is considered valid.
Your task is to determine whether the given string is a Valid String.
Input:
The first line contains an integer 'T' representing the number of test cases. Each test case consists of a single line with the string 'S'.
Output:
For each test case, output 'Yes' if the string 'S' is valid; otherwise, output 'No'. Each result should be printed on a new line.
Example:
Input:
T = 2
S = "()"
S = "(*)"
Output:
Yes
Yes
Constraints:
1 <= T <= 100
1 <= N <= 5000
- Where
N
is the length of the stringS
.
Note:
You need to implement the function only, the I/O is handled already.
