Answer 1

import java.util.Stack;

public class CheckBalancedParenthesis {

    public static void main (String args[]){
        CheckBalancedParenthesis checker = new CheckBalancedParenthesis();
        System.out.println(checker.checkBalancedParenthesis("{}}{}{}{}{}"));
    }

    public boolean checkBalancedParenthesis(String pattern){
        Stack stack = new Stack();
        for(int i = 0; i < pattern.length();i++){
            char c = pattern.charAt(i);
            if(c == '{'){
                stack.push(c);
            }else if (c == '}'){
                if(!stack.isEmpty()){
                    stack.pop();
                } else{
                    System.out.println("Error at - " + i);
                    return false;
                }
            }
        }
        return stack.isEmpty();
    }
