Issues found and fixed in parentheses_checker.cpp by me :
this issue is #8760

  1. Use of non-standard header <bits/stdc++.h>:

    • Issue: <bits/stdc++.h> is a GCC-specific header that includes all standard libraries.
      This reduces portability and increases compile time unnecessarily.
    • Fix: Replaced with specific standard headers: , , and .
  2. Single line input only:

    • Issue: The code reads only one line from input and then exits, which limits usage in batch testing.
    • Fix: Changed to a loop reading multiple lines until EOF to allow processing multiple input lines.
  3. Lack of descriptive comments for functions and code blocks:

    • Issue: Code lacks sufficient inline comments, which may confuse future readers or collaborators.
    • Fix: Added clear, concise comments explaining each function’s purpose and key logic points.
  4. Vague input prompt message:

    • Issue: The prompt only requests a single line and doesn't clarify how to end input.
    • Fix: Updated the prompt to instruct users on how to input multiple lines and how to terminate input.
  5. Unused commented code with vector tests:

    • Issue: Unnecessary commented-out vector tests in main(), cluttering the code.
    • Fix: Removed or suggested to move to separate unit tests to keep main() clean and focused.
  6. Minor formatting and style inconsistencies:

    • Issue: Inconsistent indentation and style affect readability.
    • Fix: Reformatted code consistently following common C++ style conventions.
  7. Ignored other characters in string without comment:

  • Issue: The treatment of non-parenthesis characters was implicit and not clearly noted.
    • Fix: Added a brief comment to clarify that non-bracket characters are ignored.

These fixes improve code clarity, portability, usability for multiple inputs, maintainability, and user experience.
