Mini Parser Problem
Description
LeetCode Problem 385.
Given a string s represents the serialization of a nested list, implement a parser to deserialize it and return the deserialized NestedInteger.
Each element is either an integer or a list whose elements may also be integers or other lists. Example 1:
1
2
3
Input: s = "324"
Output: 324
Explanation: You should return a NestedInteger object which contains a single integer 324.
Example 2:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
Input: s = "[123,[456,[789]]]"
Output: [123,[456,[789]]]
Explanation: Return a NestedInteger object containing a nested list with 2 elements:
1. An integer containing value 123.
2. A nested list containing two elements:
i. An integer containing value 456.
ii. A nested list with one element:
a. An integer containing value 789
Constraints:
- 1 <= s.length <= 5 * 10^4
- s consists of digits, square brackets “[]”, negative sign ‘-‘, and commas ‘,’.
- s is the serialization of valid NestedInteger.
- All the values in the input are in the range [-10^6, 10^6].
