         * If the stack is not empty, we proceed to do the next algorithm:
         * Two elements: pila (the original stack) and pilaAux2 (an auxiliary stack
         * to do the proper operations)
         * 1) If "pilaAux2" is empty, we transfer the last char of "pila" to "pilaAux2"
         *      and we delete this char from "pila". We go directly to step 4.
         *    If "pilaAux2" is not empty, we go to the step 2:
         * 2) We check if the top of pilaAux2 is equal to the opposite of the top
         *      element of "pila" (Note that we only check the closing expression).
         *      If it is true, we delete the char from "pilaAux2" and "pila" and
         *      we go directly to step 4. If it is not true, we go to the step 3.
         * 3) We push the top element of "pila" to "pilaAux". We go to the step 4.
         * 4) If pila is not empty, we do again the process deleting always the top
         *      element of "pila".
         * 
         * We can prove that the loop finishes. If the size of the stack is n and 
         * also is a positive integer, this implies that the stack has a size of n
         * that follows the next rule, 0 <= n.
         * If n = 0 we stop. If not,  we decrement the size of stack in 1 in each
         * loop, so we have a size of n-1. If n-1 = 0 pila is empty, and the algorithm
         * stops, if not, we do again the same process until we have size=0. QED
         * 
         * If "pilaAux2" is empty, implies that the expression is correct.
         * The complexity of this algorithm is O(n). Because we have O(n) (we create
         * the first stack) + O(n) (we check all elements of first stack) + O(1) 
         * (const senteces) = 2*O(n) + O(1) = O(n)
