Balanced Parentheses [10 marks]
A stack is a data structure where data is accessed using the LIFO (last in first out) principle. In this problem, you will use a stack to check whether a string has balanced parentheses (, ) and brackets {, }, [, ], or not.
A string that has balanced parentheses and brackets will be said to be balanced. Any character that is not one of (, ), [, ], {, or } is not important when deciding if a string is balanced and can be ignored.
We will define balanced as follows. A string str is balanced
if str does not contain a parenthesis or bracket symbol, or
str consists of a balanced string surrounded by opening and closing parentheses or matching brackets. That is, str is (b), {b} or [b], where b is any balanced string, or
if str is the concatenation of any two balanced strings. That is, str is bc, where b and c are any balanced strings.
You will complete the provided Balanced class that has two static methods isBalanced(String) and numberOfBalancedStrings(String[]).
Your isBalanced method must use the java.util.Stack class (in a way that solves the problem) to receive any grades for this problem.

Examples
The following strings have balanced parentheses
(), ()()
cat, c(at), (hello)(kitty)
if( ((x-y) < 4) || (x > 12))
()(((s)))()()()()(x()((y))(x))()(ccccc(w))ssss()
The following strings do not have balances parentheses
), )(a), )a(
The following strings have balanced parentheses and brackets
a, [], {}, [()], []{}({[{}]}),
for(int i=0; i<12; i+=1){x[i]+=f(1);}
The following strings do not have balanced parentheses and brackets
(], {), [}, [}, (], ({)}h, [(]())
for(int i=0; i<12; i+=1){
Note: You will receive partial marks if you code only works for parentheses (and not brackets).
