Balanced Brackets
Problem Statement :
A bracket is considered to be any one of the following characters: (, ), {, }, [, or ].
Two brackets are considered to be a matched pair if the an opening bracket (i.e., (, [, or {) occurs to the left of a closing bracket (i.e., ), ], or }) of the exact same type. There are three types of matched pairs of brackets: [], {}, and ().
A matching pair of brackets is not balanced if the set of brackets it encloses are not matched. For example, {[(])} is not balanced because the contents in between { and } are not balanced. The pair of square brackets encloses a single, unbalanced opening bracket, (, and the pair of parentheses encloses a single, unbalanced closing square bracket, ].
By this logic, we say a sequence of brackets is balanced if the following conditions are met:
It contains no unmatched brackets.
The subset of brackets enclosed within the confines of a matched pair of brackets is also a matched pair of brackets.
Given n strings of brackets, determine whether each sequence of brackets is balanced. If a string is balanced, return YES. Otherwise, return NO.
Function Description
Complete the function isBalanced in the editor below. It must return a string: YES if the sequence is balanced or NO if it is not.
isBalanced has the following parameter(s):
s: a string of brackets
Input Format
The first line contains a single integer n, the number of strings.
Each of the next n lines contains a single string s, a sequence of brackets.
Output Format
For each string, return YES or NO.
