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

April LeetCoding Challenge 4

Description

Maximum Nesting Depth of the Parentheses

A string is a valid parentheses string (denoted VPS) if it meets one of the following:

• It is an empty string "", or a single character not equal to "(" or ")",
• It can be written as AB (A concatenated with B), where A and B are VPS's, or
• It can be written as (A), where A is a VPS.

We can similarly define the nesting depth depth(S) of any VPS S as follows:

• depth("") = 0
• depth(C) = 0, where C is a string with a single character not equal to "(" or ")".
• depth(A + B) = max(depth(A), depth(B)), where A and B are VPS's.
• depth("(" + A + ")") = 1 + depth(A), where A is a VPS.

For example, "", "()()", and "()(()())" are VPS's (with nesting depths 0, 1, and 2), and ")(" and "(()" are not VPS's.

Given a VPS represented as string s, return the nesting depth of s.

Example 1:

Input: s = "(1+(2*3)+((8)/4))+1"
Output: 3
Explanation: Digit 8 is inside of 3 nested parentheses in the string.

Example 2:

Input: s = "(1)+((2))+(((3)))"
Output: 3

Constraints:

• 1 <= s.length <= 100
• s consists of digits 0-9 and characters '+', '-', '*', '/', '(', and ')'.
• It is guaranteed that parentheses expression s is a VPS.

Solution

class Solution {
public:
  int maxDepth(string s) {
    int answer = 0;
    int current = 0;
    for(auto c : s) {
      if(c == '(') {
        current += 1;
        answer = max(answer, current);
      } else if (c == ')') {
        current -= 1;
      }
    }
    return answer;
  }
};
