Parenthesis Counter App

Count Reset

How it Works

The Parenthesis Counter App uses a simple yet effective formula to count the number of open and close parentheses in a given text. The formula can be explained as follows: for each character in the text, if the character is an open parenthesis ((), increment the open parenthesis count; if the character is a close parenthesis ()), increment the close parenthesis count. The balanced state of the parentheses is then determined by comparing the counts of open and close parentheses.

Text Example	Open Parentheses Count	Close Parentheses Count	Balanced
Hello World!	0	0	Yes
(Hello World!)	1	1	Yes
(Hello World!	1	0	No
Hello World!)	0	1	No
