I am impressed how easily you made it work!

Your code iterates through the entire string before checking the length. And it needs to, because the content matters.

whats the point of checking for the length after iterating through the entire string? sure its a cleaner code but i think it misses the point of checking the validity of the input for an efficient code

bro. this kata took me a full hour... meanwhile we got this solution with a few lines.... lol

"color > m" part blew my mind :) amazing solution

You don't have to hyper-optimize 5 kyu katas, my friend.

Logic is easier to understand and follow, but time complexity could grow to O(n^2) in the worst case.

Then wouldn't "h" be a valid input? --> "#H". I guess single char is not a "word"

Wow, absolutely did NOT think of using that function. I should read the docs more...

It would

it will return False

This code won't be able to work the exceptions such as "(([)])"

Awesome!!

Clever!
