Problem Β· String
Maximum Score in Balanced String π
Learn this problemProblem statement
Given a string s consisting of parentheses, you need to find the maximum score possible in a balanced substring of s. The score of a substring is calculated by choosing two indices i and j (0 <= i < j < len(s)) such that s[i] is an opening parenthesis "(" and s[j] is a closing parenthesis ")". The score of the substring is defined as j - i, i.e., the difference between the indices.
Write a function/method that takes a string s as input and returns the maximum score that can be obtained from a balanced substring of s.
Note
The input string s will only consist of opening and closing parentheses. A balanced substring is a substring that has an equal number of opening and closing parentheses.
Function
maximumScoreInBalancedString(s: String) β intExamples
Example 1
s = "(())"return = 4There are two possible balanced substrings: "( ( ) )" (3-0) + (2-1) = 4 or (2-0) + (3-1) = 4
Example 2
s = "()()"return = 3We dont need to use the two parenthesis in the middle :)
