Interesting approach, but from my understanding of the code, it doesn't generate matches like
[()][()]
. I could be wrong, but I don't see how you can get that by prepending, appending, and enclosing just()
,[]
, and/or{}
.I'm also assuming that
[()][()]
is supposed to be one of the results for n = 8. At least two others here seem to have made that assumption, and I believe it's consistent with the previous challenge. Would be nice to have some clarification on this, though.You know, you are right. I overlooked the idea of there being multiple nests. That complicates things.
I could probably revise the current method, but build different n sized clusters through recursion, then just mix them.
Or, maybe just an insertion based one, placing a full bracket at every position in the string. That probably would be faster than the previous idea.
~~I guess I'll work on that tomorrow.~~
I ended up updating it now.
Thanks for the heads up.
