A stack is a good/bad choice as a data structure to use to match group symbols. Explain.
2. Design
Your UML design
A Java program contains various pairs of grouping symbols, such as:
Parentheses: ( and )
Curly braces: { and }
Brackets: [ and ]
Implement a program to check whether a Java source-code file has balanced parentheses, (); curly braces, {}; and square brackets, []. Use a stack to store the most recent unmatched left symbol. Any character that is not a parenthesis, curly brace, or square bracket should be ignored.
Note: Proper nesting is allowed. For example, {{(a(b)[]}} Grouping symbols cannot overlap. For example, (a{b)} is illegal.
Display the line number on which the error occurred.
Options
1. Create a program which runs from a command line and pass the Java file name as a command-line argument.
2. Create a program with a GUI which allows the user to select a Java file to open.
