1221. Split a String in Balanced Strings

QUESTION:

Balanced strings are those who have equal quantity of ‘L’ and ‘R’ characters.

Given a balanced string s split it in the maximum amount of balanced strings.

Return the maximum amount of splitted balanced strings.

Example 1:

Input: s = “RLRRLLRLRL” Output: 4 Explanation: s can be split into “RL”, “RRLL”, “RL”, “RL”, each substring contains same number of ‘L’ and ‘R’. Example 2:

Input: s = “RLLLLRRRLR” Output: 3 Explanation: s can be split into “RL”, “LLLRRR”, “LR”, each substring contains same number of ‘L’ and ‘R’. Example 3:

Input: s = “LLLLRRRR” Output: 1 Explanation: s can be split into “LLLLRRRR”. Example 4:

Input: s = “RLRRRLLRLL” Output: 2 Explanation: s can be split into “RL”, “RRRLLRLL”, since each substring contains an equal number of ‘L’ and ‘R’

Constraints:

1 <= s.length <= 1000 s[i] = ‘L’ or ‘R’

EXPLANATION:

easy的题目,看到这种配对的,可以直接考虑采用stack的数据结构。
在配对的时候,出栈一个,然后查看stack的size,如果是0,则说明已经配对完成,需要将result++;

SOLUTION:

class Solution {
    public int balancedStringSplit(String s) {
        if(s.length()==0) return 0;
        int result = 0;
        char[] chars = s.toCharArray();
        Stack<Character> stack = new Stack<>();
        stack.push(chars[0]);
        for(int i = 1;i<chars.length;i++){
            if(stack.size()==0 || chars[i]==stack.peek())
                stack.push(chars[i]);
            else
                stack.pop();
            if(stack.size()==0) result++;
        }
        return result;
    }
}
