Answer:
Employing Java language,
Explanation:
//for using stack data structure
import java.util.Stack;
//class definition
public class BracketMatch {
//function to find the string is well formed or not
public static boolean isWellFormed(String str) {
//variable to store the character value
char ch;
//check if the first character itself is the end of the brackets
if (str.charAt(0) == ')'||str.charAt(0) =='}'||str.charAt(0) ==']')
return false;
//creating a stack of character type
Stack<Character> stack = new Stack<Character>();
//iterating through the characters in string
for(int i=0; i < str.length(); i++) {
//storing the current character from the string in the variable
ch = str.charAt(i);
if(ch == '('||ch=='{'||ch=='[')
//if the character is starting of the brackets push it into stack
stack.push(ch);
else if(ch == ')')
//if it is closing bracket and the stack is empty then the string is not well formatted
if(stack.empty())
return false;
else if(stack.peek() == '(')
stack.pop();
else
return false;
else if(ch == '}')
if(stack.empty())
return false;
else if(stack.peek() == '{')
stack.pop();
else
return false;
}
//returning the stack content, if the string will be well formed the stack would be empty
//after all the operations
return stack.empty();
}
//main method
public static void main(String[] args) {
//calling function to find if the string is welll formatted or not
System.out.println(isWellFormed("{}"));
//calling function to find if the string is welll formatted or not
System.out.println(isWellFormed("([)]"));
}
}
