Given a string containing just the characters '(' and ')', find the length of the longest valid (well-formed) parentheses substring.
 
Example 1:
Input: s = "(()"
Output: 2
Explanation: The longest valid parentheses substring is "()".

Example 2:
Input: s = ")()())"
Output: 4
Explanation: The longest valid parentheses substring is "()()".

Example 3:
Input: s = ""
Output: 0

 
Constraints:

0 <= s.length <= 3 * 104
s[i] is '(', or ')'.

Difficulty: MEDIUM_HARD
Starter code: class Solution:
    def longestValidParentheses(self, s: str) -> int:
