A parentheses string is a non-empty string consisting only of '(' and ')'. It is valid if any of the following conditions is true:

\n\n\n\n

You are given a parentheses string s and a string locked, both of length n. locked is a binary string consisting only of '0's and '1's. For each index i of locked,

\n\n\n\n

Return true if you can make s a valid parentheses string. Otherwise, return false.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\"\"\n
\nInput: s = "))()))", locked = "010100"\nOutput: true\nExplanation: locked[1] == '1' and locked[3] == '1', so we cannot change s[1] or s[3].\nWe change s[0] and s[4] to '(' while leaving s[2] and s[5] unchanged to make s valid.
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: s = "()()", locked = "0000"\nOutput: true\nExplanation: We do not need to make any changes because s is already valid.\n
\n\n

Example 3:

\n\n
\nInput: s = ")", locked = "0"\nOutput: false\nExplanation: locked permits us to change s[0]. \nChanging s[0] to either '(' or ')' will not make s valid.\n
