Eg ->

Input: s = "()"
Output: true

class Solution:
    def isValid(self, s: str) -> bool:
        stack =[]
        for i in s: 
            if i == "(" or i == "{" or i == "[" : 
                stack.append(i)
            elif i == ")" : 
                if stack and stack[-1]=="(": 
                     stack.pop()
                else: 
                    stack.append(i)
            elif i == "}" : 
                if stack and stack[-1]=="{": 
                    stack.pop()
                else: 
                    stack.append(i)
            elif i == "]" : 
                if stack and stack[-1]=="[": 
                    stack.pop()
                else: 
                    stack.append(i)

        if stack:
            return False 
        else:
