Difficulty: Easy
Given a string containing only brackets, determine if the input string has valid (properly matched and nested) parentheses.
Valid Parentheses
Given a string s containing just the characters '(', ')', '{', '}', '[' and ']', determine if the input string is valid.
An input string is valid if:
- Open brackets must be closed by the same type of brackets.
- Open brackets must be closed in the correct order.
- Every close bracket has a corresponding open bracket of the same type.
Examples
Example 1:
Input: s = "()"
Output: trueExample 2:
Input: s = "()[]{}"
Output: true
Explanation: All three types of brackets are properly opened and closed.Example 3:

Output: false
Explanation: The opening '(' does not match the closing ']'.Example 4:
Input: s = "([)]"
Output: false
Explanation: The brackets are not closed in the correct order.Example 5:
Input: s = "{[]}"
Output: true
Explanation: Nested brackets are properly matched.Constraints
1 <= s.length <= 10^4sconsists of parentheses only:'()[]{}'.
