LeetCode in Kotlin

1190. Reverse Substrings Between Each Pair of Parentheses

Medium

You are given a string s that consists of lower case English letters and brackets.

Reverse the strings in each pair of matching parentheses, starting from the innermost one.

Your result should not contain any brackets.

Example 1:

Input: s = “(abcd)”

Output: “dcba”

Example 2:

Input: s = “(u(love)i)”

Output: “iloveu”

Explanation: The substring “love” is reversed first, then the whole string is reversed.

Example 3:

Input: s = “(ed(et(oc))el)”

Output: “leetcode”

Explanation: First, we reverse the substring “oc”, then “etco”, and finally, the whole string.

Solution

class Solution {
    fun reverseParentheses(s: String): String {
        val n = s.length
        val sb = StringBuilder()
        var i = 0
        while (i < n) {
            if (s[i] == '(') {
                var l = 1
                var r = 0
                val idx = i
                while (l != r) {
                    i++
                    if (s[i] == '(') {
                        l++
                    } else if (s[i] == ')') {
                        r++
                    }
                }
                val reversed = reverseParentheses(s.substring(idx + 1, i))
                val temp = StringBuilder().append(reversed)
                sb.append(temp.reverse())
            } else {
                sb.append(s[i])
            }
            i++
        }
        return sb.toString()
    }
