Generate Parentheses***

Given n pairs of parentheses, write a function to generate all combinations of well-formed parentheses.

For example, given n = 3, a solution set is:

[
"((()))",
"(()())",
"(())()",
"()(())",
"()()()"
]

public List<String> generateParenthesis(int n) {
        List<String> res = new ArrayList<String>();
        helper(n, n, "", res);
        return res;
    }
    void helper(int left, int right, String out, List<String> res) {
        if (left < 0 || right < 0 || left > right) return;
        if (left == 0 && right == 0) {
            res.add(out);
            return;
        }
        helper(left - 1, right, out + "(", res);
        helper(left, right - 1, out + ")", res);
    }
