1 Check brackets in the code

Problem Introduction

In this problem you will implement a feature for a text editor to find errors in the usage of brackets in the
code.

Problem Description

Task.

Your friend is making a text editor for programmers. He is currently working on a feature that will
find errors in the usage of different types of brackets. Code can contain any brackets from the set
[]{}(), where the opening brackets are [,{, and ( and the closing brackets corresponding to them
are ],}, and ).

For convenience, the text editor should not only inform the user that there is an error in the usage
of brackets, but also point to the exact place in the code with the problematic bracket. First priority
is to find the first unmatched closing bracket which either doesn’t have an opening bracket before it,
like ] in ](), or closes the wrong opening bracket, like } in ()[}. If there are no such mistakes, then
it should find the first unmatched opening bracket without the corresponding closing bracket after it,
like ( in {}([]. If there are no mistakes, text editor should inform the user that the usage of brackets
is correct.

Apart from the brackets, code can contain big and small latin letters, digits and punctuation marks.
More formally, all brackets in the code should be divided into pairs of matching brackets, such that in
each pair the opening bracket goes before the closing bracket, and for any two pairs of brackets either
one of them is nested inside another one as in (foo[bar]) or they are separate as in f(a,b)-g[c].
The bracket [ corresponds to the bracket ], { corresponds to }, and ( corresponds to ).

Input Format.

Input contains one string 𝑆 which consists of big and small latin letters, digits, punctuation
marks and brackets from the set []{}().

Constraints. The length of 𝑆 is at least 1 and at most 105.

Output Format.

If the code in 𝑆 uses brackets correctly, output “Success" (without the quotes). Otherwise,
output the 1-based index of the first unmatched closing bracket, and if there are no unmatched closing
brackets, output the 1-based index of the first unmatched opening bracket.

Memory Limit. 512MB.

Sample 1.

Input:
[]

Output:
Success

Explanation:
The brackets are used correctly: there is just one pair of brackets [ and ], they correspond to each
other, the left bracket [ goes before the right bracket ], and no two pairs of brackets intersect, because
there is just one pair of brackets.

Sample 2.

Input:
{}[]

Output:
Success

Explanation:
The brackets are used correctly: there are two pairs of brackets — first pair of { and }, and second pair
of [ and ] — and these pairs do not intersect.

Sample 3.

Input:
[()]

Output:
Success

Explanation:
The brackets are used correctly: there are two pairs of brackets — first pair of [ and ], and second pair
of ( and ) — and the second pair is nested inside the first pair.

Sample 4.

Input:
(())

Output:
Success

Explanation:
Pairs with the same types of brackets can also be nested.

Sample 5.

Input:
{[]}()

Output:
Success

Explanation:
Here there are 3 pairs of brackets, one of them is nested into another one, and the third one is separate
from the first two.

Sample 6.

Input:
{

Output:
1

Explanation:
The code { doesn’t use brackets correctly, because brackets cannot be divided into pairs (there is just
one bracket). There are no closing brackets, and the first unmatched opening bracket is {, and its
position is 1, so we output 1.
4

Sample 7.

Input:
{[}

Output:
3

Explanation:
The bracket } is unmatched, because the last unmatched opening bracket before it is [ and not {. It
is the first unmatched closing bracket, and our first priority is to output the first unmatched closing
bracket, and its position is 3, so we output 3.

Sample 8.

Input:
foo(bar);

Output:
Success

Explanation:
All the brackets are matching, and all the other symbols can be ignored.

Sample 9.

Input:
foo(bar[i);

Output:
10

Explanation:
) doesn’t match [, so ) is the first unmatched closing bracket, so we output its position, which is 10.
