Given an expression, find and mark matched and unmatched parenthesis in it. We need to replace all balanced opening parenthesis with 0, balanced closing parenthesis with 1, and all unbalanced with -1.
Examples:  

Input : ((a) 
Output : -10a1

Input : (a))
Output : 0a1-1

Input  : (((abc))((d)))))
Output : 000abc1100d111-1-1

The idea is based on a stack. We run a loop from the start of the string Up to end and for every ‘(‘, we push it into a stack. If the stack is empty, and we encounter a closing bracket ‘)’ we replace -1 at that index of the string. Else we replace all opening brackets ‘(‘ with 0 and closing brackets with 1. Then pop from the stack.

// parenthesis.

using namespace std;
 
void identifyParenthesis(string a)
{
    stack<int> st;
 
    // run the loop upto end of the string
    for (int i = 0; i < a.length(); i++) {
 
        // if a[i] is opening bracket then push
        // into stack
        if (a[i] == '(')
            st.push(i);
         
        // if a[i] is closing bracket ')'
        else if (a[i] == ')') {
 
            // If this closing bracket is unmatched
            if (st.empty())
                a.replace(i, 1, "-1");
             
            else {
 
                // replace all opening brackets with 0
                // and closing brackets with 1
                a.replace(i, 1, "1");
