Given some assortment of brackets, you must find the largest substring that is a valid matching bracket pattern

• A bracket match is an opening and closing version of the same kind of bracket beside each other ()
• If a bracket matches then outer brackets can also match (())
• The valid brackets are ()[]{}

For example for the input {([])()[(])}()] the answer would be ([])() as that is the largest substring that has all matches

You must accept the input as a command line argument (entered when your app is ran) and print out the result

(It will be called like node main.js [(]() or however else to run apps in your language)

You can use the solution tester in this post to test you followed the correct format https://programming.dev/post/1805174

Any programming language may be used. 3 points will be given if you pass all the test cases with 1 bonus point going to whoevers performs the quickest and 1 for whoever can get the least amount of characters

To submit put the code and the language you used below

We now have some possibility for custom emotes available in the instance (now that the bug that was happening with them was fixed). If anyone has some suggestions for what to add feel free to reply with them

Ive added the p.d logo and a couple game engines for now as an example. You can send the p.d logo by typing :pro (or more of the name) and then it should show an autofill you can select if youre using the website (theres an emoji picker as well but it doesnt work for custom emotes)

Ill likely be adding some for the logos of various things but mainly want to know if theres anything people want other than that

Bracket Inc. wants to ship out new products using their excess brackets. They have tasked you with generating every possible assortment of brackets for some n brackets where the brackets will match

• A bracket match is an opening and closing version of the same kind of bracket beside each other ()
• If a bracket matches then outer brackets can also match (())
• n will be an even number
• The valid brackets are ()[]{}

For example for n = 4 the options are

• ()()
• (())
• [][]
• [[]]
• {}{}
• {{}}
• []()
• ()[]
• (){}
• {}()
• []{}
• {}[]
• ({})
• {()}
• ([])
• [()]
• {[]}
• [{}]

You must accept n as a command line argument (entered when your app is ran) and print out all of the matches, one per line

(It will be called like node main.js 4 or however else to run apps in your language)

Hey everyone! I'll be going through and making features for the site soon (as I've almost got my laptop back) and wanted to know if there was any features that are wanted that I dont already have noted down

I'm currently planning to do:

• Customizable icon shapes (circle, hexagon, etc.)
• Flairs
• Ability to block an instance
• Ability for admins or community mods to hide communities from the all feed
• Community short descriptions (to show in the community list + top of sidebar)

And polls are also being worked on by snowe

Will try to get the changes merged into lemmy itself as well but they'll be released here first
