Let's use the traditional algorithm in which we use the stack for evaluating an expression involving paranthesis.This will check for the proper nesting of elements.

Stack should do the trick i believe. Push when you encounter a open tag of any sort and pop when you encounter a close tag of any sort. When the end of file is reached the stack should be empty !

Vijay,

With ur solution, we can only check if there are equal number of openings and closings but how can we find out if every closing corresponds to an opening

I got it. If we store the stack with the tag names, latest push name should match with the latest pop name. else its not valid
