Today I have done leetcode's March LeetCoding Challenge with cpp.

March LeetCoding Challenge 17

Description

Score of Parentheses

iven a balanced parentheses string s, return the score of the string.

The score of a balanced parentheses string is based on the following rule:

  • "()" has score 1.
  • AB has score A + B, where A and B are balanced parentheses strings.
  • (A) has score 2 * A, where A is a balanced parentheses string.

Example 1:

Input: s = "()"
Output: 1

Example 2:

Input: s = "(())"
Output: 2

Example 3:

Input: s = "()()"
Output: 2

Constraints:

  • 2 <= s.length <= 50
  • s consists of only '(' and ')'.

Solution

class Solution {
public:
  int scoreOfParentheses(string S) {
    int answer = 0;
    int count = 0;
    char last = 0;
    for(auto c : S) {
      if(c == '(') {
        count += 1;
      } else {
        count -= 1;
        if(last == '(') answer += (1 << count);
      }
      last = c;
    }
    return answer;
  }
};
