Write a program which reads a C++ source file and checks that all instances of brackets are balanced, that is, each ‘(’ has a matching ‘)’, and similarly for [] and {}, except for when they appear inside comments or strings. A line which contains an unbalanced bracket should be reported by a message such as the following sent to standard output: '{' on line 15 has no matching '}'
include<iostream>
#include<stack>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
bool ArePair(char opening,char closing)
{
if(opening == '(' && closing == ')') return true;
else if(opening == '{' && closing == '}') return true;
else if(opening == '[' && closing == ']') return true;
return false;
}
bool AreParanthesesBalanced(string exp)
{
stack<char> S;
for(int i =0;i<exp.length();i++)
{
if(exp[i] == '(' || exp[i] == '{' || exp[i] == '[')
S.push(exp[i]);
else if(exp[i] == ')' || exp[i] == '}' || exp[i] == ']')
{
if(S.empty() || !ArePair(S.top(),exp[i]))
return false;
else
S.pop();
}
}
return S.empty() ? true:false;
}
int main()
{
string expression;
cout<<"Enter an expression: "; // input expression from STDIN/Console
cin>>expression;
if(AreParanthesesBalanced(expression))
cout<<"Balanced\n";
else
cout<<"Not Balanced\n";
}
