1021. Remove Outermost Parentheses
https://leetcode.com/problems/remove-outermost-parentheses
Description
A valid parentheses string is either empty "", "(" + A + ")", or A + B, where A and B are valid parentheses strings, and + represents string concatenation.
For example,
"","()","(())()", and"(()(()))"are all valid parentheses strings.
A valid parentheses string s is primitive if it is nonempty, and there does not exist a way to split it into s = A + B, with A and B nonempty valid parentheses strings.
Given a valid parentheses string s, consider its primitive decomposition: s = P1 + P2 + ... + Pk, where Pi are primitive valid parentheses strings.
Return s after removing the outermost parentheses of every primitive string in the primitive decomposition of s.
Example 1:
**Input:** s = "(()())(())"
**Output:** "()()()"
**Explanation:**
The input string is "(()())(())", with primitive decomposition "(()())" + "(())".
After removing outer parentheses of each part, this is "()()" + "()" = "()()()".Example 2:
**Input:** s = "(()())(())(()(()))"
**Output:** "()()()()(())"
**Explanation:**
The input string is "(()())(())(()(()))", with primitive decomposition "(()())" + "(())" + "(()(()))".
After removing outer parentheses of each part, this is "()()" + "()" + "()(())" = "()()()()(())".Example 3:
**Input:** s = "()()"
**Output:** ""
**Explanation:**
The input string is "()()", with primitive decomposition "()" + "()".
After removing outer parentheses of each part, this is "" + "" = "".Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 105s[i]is either'('or')'.sis a valid parentheses string.
