Question
Parenthesis Matching
e.g. given the string:
"Sometimes (when I nest them (my parentheticals) too much (like this (and this))) they get confusing."
given an index of an opening bracket:
e.g. 10
Find the closing bracket.
I quite the method I used to solve this. I started visualizing a very simple example.
(...) - Just the last one
()() - Find first closing
(()) - If there is another opening bracket, ignore the first closing bracket.
This was similar to TDD but just doing it in with examples and coming to a potential algorithm quite quickly.
