String-22-Generate Parentheses

Description:

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:

[
"((()))",
"(()())",
"(())()",
"()(())",
"()()()"
]

Solution:

class Solution {
public List<String> generateParenthesis(int n) {
List<String> combinations = new ArrayList();
generateAll(new char[2 * n], 0, combinations);
return combinations;
}

public void generateAll(char[] current, int pos, List<String> result) {
if (pos == current.length) {
if (valid(current))
result.add(new String(current));
} else {
current[pos] = '(';
generateAll(current, pos+1, result);
current[pos] = ')';
generateAll(current, pos+1, result);
}
}

public boolean valid(char[] current) {
int balance = 0;
for (char c: current) {
if (c == '(') balance++;
else balance--;
if (balance < 0) return false;
}
return (balance == 0);
}
}
