Solved the classic Valid Parentheses problem using a stack-based approach in JavaScript. Key idea: Use a stack to track opening brackets and a hash map to validate closing pairs efficiently in O(1). Approach: Push opening brackets (, {, [ onto the stack On encountering a closing bracket, check: If stack is empty → invalid If top of stack doesn’t match → invalid At the end, stack must be empty for a valid string Optimized with: Single pass traversal → O(n) time complexity Stack space → O(n) worst case This problem reinforces a fundamental pattern: Stack + Mapping = Efficient bracket validation #JavaScript #DataStructures #Algorithms #Stack #CodingInterview #LeetCode
