(in inverse order). For instance, the string “Program” must be encrypted to
“rganroP”.

theses are in correct order (that is, each closing parenthesis “)” corresponds to
an opening one “(”) then output 0. If the string contains illegal parentheses
“)” then output the order number of the first string character that is an illegal
“)” . If the amount of closing parentheses is less than the amount of opening
ones then output –1.
