Balanced Parenthesis and String Inversion Using Stack

Project Overview

This project implements stack-based solutions for two problems:

1. Balanced Parenthesis Check: Verifies if parentheses in a given string are balanced using stack operations.
2. String Inversion: Reverses a given string using a stack.

Both implementations utilize a custom stack class built with sequential allocation in Java.

Features

1. Balanced Parenthesis Check

• Checks if strings containing parentheses ((), {}, []) are balanced.
• Returns true if balanced, otherwise false.
• Example:
  • Input: {[()]}
  • Output: Balanced

2. String Inversion

• Reverses a string of any length (up to 80 characters) using a stack.
• Supports all types of characters, including alphabets, numbers, and special characters.
• Example:
  • Input: Hello, World!
  • Output: !dlroW ,olleH

How It Works

The Stack Class

The Stack class provides basic stack operations:

• Create: Initializes an empty stack.
• Push: Adds an element to the stack.
• Pop: Removes and returns the top element of the stack.
• Peek: Returns the top element without removing it.
• IsEmpty: Checks if the stack is empty.
• IsFull: Checks if the stack is full.

File Structure

• Stack.java: Contains the Stack class implementation.
• BalancedParenthesisChecker.java: Implements the balanced parenthesis check functionality.
• StringInversion.java: Implements the string inversion functionality.

How to Run

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository_url>

2. Navigate to the project directory and compile the Java files:

   javac Stack.java BalancedParenthesisChecker.java StringInversion.java

3. Run the desired functionality:
   • For balanced parenthesis check:

     java BalancedParenthesisChecker

   • For string inversion:

     java StringInversion

Example Output

Balanced Parenthesis Checker

Input: {[()]} {[(])} ([{}])

Expression: {[()]} -> Balanced
Expression: {[(])} -> Not Balanced
Expression: ([{}]) -> Balanced

String Inversion

Input: "Hello, World!"

Original: Hello, World! -> Reversed: !dlroW ,olleH
