Question
Write a recursive method, matchingParen (String str), that returns:
true if str is a nesting of zero or more pairs of parentheses, like "())" or "((()".
false if str is null, or if str has any character other than right or left parentheses, or
if the right and left parentheses do not match.
System.out.println( matchingParen( ) );
System.out.println( matchingParen( "(())" ) );
System. out.println( matchingParen( "(()))" ) );
System.out.println( matchingParen( "((x))" ) );
System.out.println( matchingParen( "()))") );
System.out.println( matchingParen( null ) );
//true
//true
//true
//false
//false
//false
Hint: You may check the first and last chars, and then recur on what's inside them. You may
also find it easier to use a helper method.
