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

Like last time, a brute force solution: checking if every substring is a set of well formed brackets, and, if so, recording it if its the longest seen so far.
