Check if a Parentheses String Can Be Valid
A parentheses string is a non-empty string consisting only of '(' and ')'.
A parentheses string is a non-empty string consisting only of '(' and ')'. It is valid if any of the following conditions is true:
You are given a parentheses string s and a string locked, both of length n. locked is a binary string consisting only of '0's and '1's. For each index i of locked,
Return true if you can make s a valid parentheses string. Otherwise, return false.
Example 1
Input: s = "))()))", locked = "010100"
Output: true
Explanation: locked[1] == '1' and locked[3] == '1', so we cannot change s[1] or s[3]. We change s[0] and s[4] to '(' while leaving s[2] and s[5] unchanged to make s valid.
Example 2
Input: s = "()()", locked = "0000"
Output: true
Explanation: We do not need to make any changes because s is already valid.
Example 3
Input: s = ")", locked = "0"
Output: false
Explanation: locked permits us to change s[0]. Changing s[0] to either '(' or ')' will not make s valid.
Example 4
Input: s = "(((())(((())", locked = "111111010111"
Output: true
Explanation: locked permits us to change s[6] and s[8]. We change s[6] and s[8] to ')' to make s valid.
Constraints
- n == s.length == locked.length
- 1 <= n <= 10^5
- s[i] is either '(' or ')'.
- locked[i] is either '0' or '1'.
