text: Minimum number of bracket reversals needed to make an expression balanced | Java Code to count minimum reversal for making an expression balanced . ; Method count minimum reversal for making an expression balanced . Returns - 1 if expression cannot be balanced ; Expressions of odd lengths cannot be balanced ; If we find a left bracket then we simply increment the left bracket ; Else if left bracket is 0 then we find unbalanced right bracket and increment right bracket or if the expression is balanced then we decrement left ; Driver method
