Loading collection data...
Collections are a way for you to organize kata so that you can create your own training routines. Every collection you create is public and automatically sharable with other warriors. After you have added a few kata to a collection you and others can train on the kata contained within the collection.
Get started now by creating a new collection.
I benchmarked it and found it to be at least twice as slow as the ternary implemenatation. It looks nice though.
It's a question of what's more idiomatic. See Avdi Grimm's master work: Confident Ruby
The description specifies: "Input will always be a non-negative integer."
Don't think this solution is correct: when n and m are both negative, this solution will give you the positive result, when 0 should be returned.

Now, what takes longer: getting the maximum value from an array, or using a ternary?
Did you actually read that post? They show that it hardly matters for 100,000 iterations, and we already know this only needs to handle 2 strings.

Test.assertEquals(validParentheses( "()))" ), false);
Should be added, otherwise this logic passes submission:
first == '(' && last == ')' && length is even
