1963. Minimum Number of Swaps to Make the String Balanced
https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-number-of-swaps-to-make-the-string-balanced
Description
You are given a 0-indexed string s of even length n. The string consists of exactly n / 2 opening brackets '[' and n / 2 closing brackets ']'.
A string is called balanced if and only if:
It is the empty string, or
It can be written as
AB, where bothAandBare balanced strings, orIt can be written as
[C], whereCis a balanced string.
You may swap the brackets at any two indices any number of times.
Return the minimum number of swaps to make s balanced.
Example 1:
**Input:** s = "][]["
**Output:** 1
**Explanation:** You can make the string balanced by swapping index 0 with index 3.
The resulting string is "[[]]".Example 2:
**Input:** s = "]]][[["
**Output:** 2
**Explanation:** You can do the following to make the string balanced:
- Swap index 0 with index 4. s = "[]][][".
- Swap index 1 with index 5. s = "[[][]]".
The resulting string is "[[][]]".Example 3:
**Input:** s = "[]"
**Output:** 0
**Explanation:** The string is already balanced.Constraints:
n == s.length2 <= n <= 106nis even.s[i]is either'['or']'.The number of opening brackets
'['equalsn / 2, and the number of closing brackets']'equalsn / 2.
