A string S consisting of N characters is considered to be properly nested if any of the following conditions is true:
- S is empty;
- S has the form "(U)" or "[U]" or "{U}" where U is a properly nested string;
- S has the form "VW" where V and W are properly nested strings.
For example, the string "{[()()]}" is properly nested but "([)()]" is not.
Write a function:
int solution(char *S);
that, given a string S consisting of N characters, returns 1 if S is properly nested and 0 otherwise.
For example, given S = "{[()()]}", the function should return 1 and given S = "([)()]", the function should return 0, as explained above.
