Given a balanced parentheses string which consists of ‘(‘ and ‘)‘. The task is to find the number of balanced parentheses substrings in the given string 
 

Examples : 

Input : str = “()()()” 
Output :
(), (), (), ()(), ()(), ()()()
Input : str = “(())()” 
Output :
(), (()), (), (())() 

 

Approach : 
Let us assume that whenever we encounter with opening bracket the depth increases by one and with a closing bracket the depth decreases by one. Whenever we encounter the closing bracket increase our required answer by one and then increment our required answer by the already formed balanced substrings at this depth. 
Below is the implementation of the above approach :
 

C++14




// CPP program to find number of
// balanced parentheses sub strings
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find number of
// balanced parentheses sub strings
int Balanced_Substring(string str, int n)
{
    // To store required answer
    int ans = 0;
 
    // Vector to stores the number of
    // balanced brackets at each depth.
    vector<int> arr(n / 2 + 1, 0);
 
    // d stores checks the depth of our sequence
    // For example level of () is 1
    // and that of (()) is 2.
    int d = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        // If open bracket
        // increase depth
        if (str[i] == '(')
            d++;
 
        // If closing bracket
        else {
            if (d == 1) {
                for (int j = 2; j <= n / 2 + 1 && arr[j] != 0; j++)
                    arr[j] = 0;
            }
            ++ans;
            ans += arr[d];
            arr[d]++;
            d--;
        }
    }
 
    // Return the required answer
    return ans;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    string str = "()()()";
 
    int n = str.size();
 
    // Function call
    cout << Balanced_Substring(str, n);
 
    return 0;
}

        // To store required answer
        int ans = 0;
 
        // Vector to stores the number of
        // balanced brackets at each depth.
        int[] arr = new int[n / 2 + 1];
 
        // d stores checks the depth of our sequence
        // For example level of () is 1
        // and that of (()) is 2.
        int d = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
 
            // If open bracket
            // increase depth
            if (str.charAt(i) == '(')
                d++;
 
            // If closing bracket
            else {
                if (d == 1) {
                    for (int j = 2; j <= n / 2 + 1 && arr[j] != 0; j++)
                        arr[j] = 0;
                }
                ++ans;
                ans += arr[d];
                arr[d]++;
                d--;

        return ans;
    }
