Please answer the questiong correctly, show approprite code and output of compiled code.

Balanced Parentheses [10 marks]

A stack is a data structure where data is accessed using the LIFO (last in first out) principle. In this problem, you will use a stack to check whether a string has balanced parentheses (, ) and brackets {, }, [, ], or not.

A string that has balanced parentheses and brackets will be said to be balanced. Any character that is not one of (, ), [, ], {, or } is not important when deciding if a string is balanced and can be ignored.

We will define balanced as follows. A string str is balanced

if str does not contain a parenthesis or bracket symbol, or

str consists of a balanced string surrounded by opening and closing parentheses or matching brackets. That is, str is (b), {b} or [b], where b is any balanced string, or

if str is the concatenation of any two balanced strings. That is, str is bc, where b and c are any balanced strings.

You will complete the provided Balanced class that has two static methods isBalanced(String) and numberOfBalancedStrings(String[]).

Your isBalanced method must use the java.util.Stack class (in a way that solves the problem) to receive any grades for this problem.

Examples

The following strings have balanced parentheses

(), ()()

cat, c(at), (hello)(kitty)

if( ((x-y) < 4) || (x > 12))

()(((s)))()()()()(x()((y))(x))()(ccccc(w))ssss()

The following strings do not have balances parentheses

), )(a), )a(

The following strings have balanced parentheses and brackets

a, [], {}, [()], []{}({[{}]}),

for(int i=0; i<12; i+=1){x[i]+=f(1);}

The following strings do not have balanced parentheses and brackets

(], {), [}, [}, (], ({)}h, [(]())

for(int i=0; i<12; i+=1){

Note: You will receive partial marks if you code only works for parentheses (and not brackets).

BALANCED.JAVA

import java.util.Stack;

/**
Checks if a string is balanced or not.
@param s is a non-null string
@return true of the input s is balanced and false otherwise.

public static boolean isBalanced(String s){
return false;
}
/**
Counts the number of balanced strings in the input array.
@param in is a non-null array of strings
@return the number of strings in the input in that are balanced.

public static int numberOfBalancedStrings(String[] in){
return -1;
}
}
