Second Step of Bracket Balancing: Pushing a Curly Brace

Second Step of Bracket Balancing: Pushing a Second Opening Bracket

An algorithm uses a last-in, first-out data structure to determine if a sequence of brackets is correctly matched and nested. If the algorithm begins processing the input sequence [ { } ], what will be the state of the data structure immediately after the very first character is processed?

Debugging a Bracket Balancing Algorithm's First Step

An algorithm uses a last-in, first-out data structure to check for balanced brackets. For the input sequence ( { } ), after processing the very first character, the data structure would contain the corresponding closing bracket ). True or False?
