Balanced Parentheses with Prefix Sum

You are tasked with verifying if a string consisting of parentheses is balanced using a prefix sum approach. A string is considered balanced if every opening parenthesis has a corresponding closing parenthesis. Implement a function that checks if the given string of parentheses is balanced. A prefix sum can be used to maintain a count of opening and closing parentheses. Input format: - A single line containing the string of parentheses, consisting of characters '(' and ')'. Output format: - Print 'True' if the parentheses are balanced, otherwise print 'False'. Example: Input: (())() Output: True
