Range Queries for Longest Correct Bracket Subsequence Set | 2

Read

Discuss

Given a bracket sequence or in other words a string S of length n, consisting of characters ‘(‘ and ‘)’. Find the length of the maximum correct bracket subsequence of sequence for a given query range. Note: A correct bracket sequence is the one that has matched bracket pairs or which contains another nested correct bracket sequence. For e.g (), (()), ()() are some correct bracket sequence.

Examples:

Input : S = ())(())(())(
Start Index of Range = 0,
End Index of Range = 11
Output : 10
Explanation: Longest Correct Bracket Subsequence is ()(())(())

Input : S = ())(())(())(
Start Index of Range = 1,
End Index of Range = 2
Output : 0

Approach: In the Previous post (SET 1) we discussed a solution that works in O(long) for each query, now is this post we will go to see a solution that works in O(1) for each query.

The idea is based on the Post length of the longest valid balanced substring If we marked indexes of all Balanced parentheses/brackets in a temporary array (here we named it BCP[], BOP[] ) then we answer each query in O(1) time.

Algorithm :

stack is used to get the index of balance bracket.
Traverse a string from 0 ..to n
IF we seen a closing bracket, 
      ( i.e., str[i] = ')' && stack is not empty )
 
Then mark both "open & close" bracket indexes as 1.
BCP[i] = 1; 
BOP[stk.top()] = 1;

And At last, stored cumulative sum of BCP[] & BOP[] 
Run a loop from 1 to n
BOP[i] +=BOP[i-1], BCP[i] +=BCP[i-1]

Now you can answer each query in O(1) time

(BCP[e] - BOP[s-1]])*2;

Below is the implementation of the above idea.

C++

// CPP code to answer the query in constant time
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
/*
BOP[] stands for "Balanced open parentheses" 
BCP[] stands for "Balanced close parentheses"

// function for precomputation
void constructBalanceArray(int BOP[], int BCP[],
                          char* str, int n)
{
 
    // Create a stack and push -1 as initial index to it.
    stack<int> stk;
 
    // Initialize result
    int result = 0;
 
    // Traverse all characters of given string
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        // If opening bracket, push index of it
        if (str[i] == '(')
            stk.push(i);
 
        else // If closing bracket, i.e., str[i] = ')'
        {
            // If closing bracket, i.e., str[i] = ')'
            // && stack is not empty then mark both
            // "open & close" bracket indexes as 1 .
            // Pop the previous opening bracket's index
            if (!stk.empty()) {
                BCP[i] = 1;
                BOP[stk.top()] = 1;
                stk.pop();
            }
 
            // If stack is empty.
            else
                BCP[i] = 0;
        }
    }
 
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
        BCP[i] += BCP[i - 1];
        BOP[i] += BOP[i - 1];
    }
}
 
// Function return output of each query in O(1)
int query(int BOP[], int BCP[],
          int s, int e)
{
    if (BOP[s - 1] == BOP[s]) {
        return (BCP[e] - BOP[s]) * 2;
    }
 
    else {
        return (BCP[e] - BOP[s] + 1) * 2;
    }
}
 
// Driver program to test above function
int main()
{
 
    char str[] = "())(())(())(";
    int n = strlen(str);
 
    int BCP[n + 1] = { 0 };
    int BOP[n + 1] = { 0 };
 
    constructBalanceArray(BOP, BCP, str, n);
 
    int startIndex = 5, endIndex = 11;
 
    cout << "Maximum Length Correct Bracket"
            " Subsequence between "
         << startIndex << " and " << endIndex << " = "
         << query(BOP, BCP, startIndex, endIndex) << endl;

            " Subsequence between "
