A valid parentheses string is either empty (""), "(" + A + ")", or A + B, where A and B are valid parentheses strings, and + represents string concatenation. For example, "", "()", "(())()", and "(()(()))" are all valid parentheses strings.
A valid parentheses string S is primitive if it is nonempty, and there does not exist a way to split it into S = A+B, with A and B nonempty valid parentheses strings.
Given a valid parentheses string S, consider its primitive decomposition: S = P_1 + P_2 + ... + P_k, where P_i are primitive valid parentheses strings.
Return S after removing the outermost parentheses of every primitive string in the primitive decomposition of S.
Example 1:
Input: "(()())(())" Output: "()()()" Explanation: The input string is "(()())(())", with primitive decomposition "(()())" + "(())". After removing outer parentheses of each part, this is "()()" + "()" = "()()()". Example 2:
Input: "(()())(())(()(()))" Output: "()()()()(())" Explanation: The input string is "(()())(())(()(()))", with primitive decomposition "(()())" + "(())" + "(()(()))". After removing outer parentheses of each part, this is "()()" + "()" + "()(())" = "()()()()(())". Example 3:
Input: "()()" Output: "" Explanation: The input string is "()()", with primitive decomposition "()" + "()". After removing outer parentheses of each part, this is "" + "" = "".
Note:
S.length <= 10000 S[i] is "(" or ")" S is a valid parentheses string
