2015.04.01 Leetcode Generate Parentheses

标签：algorithm   java   leetcode   backtracking   

Given n pairs of parentheses,

write a function to generate all combinations of well-formed parentheses.
For example, given n = 3, a solution set is:
"((()))", "(()())", "(())()", "()(())", "()()()"

  题解： 需要用dfs －backtracking. 
 给定的n为括号对，也就是有n个左括号和n个右括号的组合。
按照顺序尝试，直到左右括号都尝试完了，这就可以得到一个解。

注意： 左括号的数目不能大于右括号。避免“)(” 这样不合法的解出现。
