Brackets all over strings

I am not getting the meaning of a+s+b;question is ambigous,at first it’s written otherwise print 0,and then at last -1

@sattyrajpoot39 hey satyam
the problem says that you are given a string s, it’s length m and a number n. You have generate all possible pairs of a and b such that:
a + s + b is a valid sequence of brackets of length exactly n.
For example if you are given s = β€œ))” and n = 6(m = 2 obviously) then you can generate following pairs of a and b to make a+s+b a valid sequence:

β€œ()((” β€œ))” β€œβ€ // Remeber a and b can be blank also.
β€œ((” β€œ))” β€œ()”
β€œ(((” β€œ))” β€œ)”
β€œ(()(” β€œ))” β€œβ€
β€œ((()” β€œ))” β€œβ€

Hence, the ans for this testcase is 5. If there is no possible combination then print -1. Pls try the question now.

means u can have character before s and also after s
which can be empty also a and b
so after combinaing them all that is concatining u will get the full string
