'''Task''':
* Generate a string with <code>$&nbsp; '''N</code>''' &nbsp; opening brackets (&nbsp; <codebig>"'''["'''</codebig>) &nbsp; and <code>$with &nbsp; '''N</code>''' &nbsp; closing brackets (&nbsp; <codebig>"''']"'''</codebig>), &nbsp; in some arbitrary order.
* Determine whether the generated string is <em>''balanced</em>''; that is, whether it consists entirely of pairs of opening/closing brackets (in that order), none of which mis-nest.
<br>
 
'''Examples''':
 
 
(empty) OK
;Examples:
[] OK ][ NOT OK
[][](empty) OK ][][ NOT OK
[[][]] OK []][[] NOTOK OK
[][] OK
[[][]] OK
][ NOT OK
][][ NOT OK
[]][[] NOT OK

This code implements the second part of the task: it reads from standard input an arbitrary string of opening and closing brackets, and checks whether it's balanced or not.

Balanced brackets are a monoid with the following presentation:
<pre>⟨l, r | l·r = e⟩</pre>
 
This allows for a particular simple implementation:

Bal ← {
Mul ← {a‿b𝕊x‿y: ⟨a+0⌈x-b, y+0⌈b-x⟩}

=={{header|Bracmat}}==
Bracmat has no 'random' function, so the shuffle is a bit improvised. A variable <code>someNumber</code> is initialised with a big number is repeatedly divided by the number of '['s in the test string until zero. The remainders are used as index to partition and swap the first half of the test string. Then the second half and first half are also swapped. The test whether the test string is balanced is simple, but not very efficient.

The simplest solution exploits the idea of stack-based automaton, which could be implemented by a fold.
<syntaxhighlight lang="haskell">
isMatching :: String -> Bool
isMatching = null . foldl aut []
where
aut ('[':s) ']' = s
-- aut ('{':s) '}' = s -- automaton could be extended
aut s x = x:s
</syntaxhighlight>
 
This generates an infinite stream of correct balanced brackets expressions:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="haskell">brackets = filter isMatching
$ [1.. ] >>= (`replicateM` "[]{}") </syntaxhighlight>
<pre>λ> take 10 brackets
["[]","{}","[[]]","[][]","[]{}","[{}]","{[]}","{{}}","{}[]","{}{}"]</pre>
 
In case the index of unmatched opening bracket is need to be found, following solution is suitable.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="haskell">
import Control.Monad
import System.Random
import Text.Printf
import VShuffle
 
-- Return whether a string contains balanced brackets. Nothing indicates a
-- balanced string, while (Just i) means an imbalance was found at, or just
-- after, the i'th bracket. We assume the string contains only brackets.
isBalanced :: String -> Maybe Int
isBalanced = bal (-1) 0
where
bal :: Int -> Int -> String -> Maybe Int
bal _ 0 [] = Nothing
bal i _ [] = Just i
bal i (-1) _ = Just i
bal i n ('[':bs) = bal (i + 1) (n + 1) bs
bal i n (']':bs) = bal (i + 1) (n - 1) bs
 
-- Print a string, indicating whether it contains balanced brackets. If not,
-- indicate the bracket at which the imbalance was found.
check :: String -> IO ()
check s = maybe (good s) (bad s) (isBalanced s)
where
good = printf "Good \"%s\"\n"
bad s n = printf "Bad \"%s\"\n%*s^\n" s (n + 6) " "
 
main :: IO ()
main = do
let bs = cycle "[]"
rs <- replicateM 10 newStdGen
zipWithM_ (\n r -> check $ shuffle (take n bs) r) [0,2 ..] rs</syntaxhighlight>
We put our list shuffling function in a separate module. For efficiency we use ''mutable'' vectors, although for the short lists in our example it doesn't really matter.
<syntaxhighlight lang="haskell">module VShuffle
( shuffle
) where
 
import Data.List (mapAccumL)
import System.Random
import Control.Monad.ST

import qualified Data.Vector.Generic.Mutable as M
 
-- Generate a list of array index pairs, each corresponding to a swap.
pairs
:: (Enum a, Random a, RandomGen g)
=> a -> a -> g -> [(a, a)]
pairs l u r = snd $ mapAccumL step r [l .. pred u]
where
step r i =
let (j, r') = randomR (i, u) r
in (r', (i, j))
 
-- Return a random permutation of the list. We use the algorithm described in
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher%E2%80%93Yates_shuffle#The_modern_algorithm.
shuffle
:: (RandomGen g)
=> [a] -> g -> [a]
shuffle xs r =
V.toList . runST $
do v <- V.unsafeThaw $ V.fromList xs
mapM_ (uncurry $ M.swap v) $ pairs 0 (M.length v - 1) r

The <code>checkBalanced</code> verb would need modification (<code> checkBalanced =: ((0 = {:) *. _1 -.@e. ])@bracketDepth </code>) if the task were extended to include uneven numbers of opening and closing brackets.

Idiomatic solution, using a regex that performs subpattern recursion ''(works with Perl 5.10 and newer)'':
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="perl">sub generate {
my $n = shift;
my $str = '[' x $n;
substr($str, rand($n + $_), 0) = ']' for 1..$n;
return $str;
}
 
sub balanced {
shift =~ /^ (\[ (?1)* \])* $/x;
}
 
for (0..8) {
my $input = generate($_);
print balanced($input) ? " ok:" : "bad:", " '$input'\n";
}</syntaxhighlight>

bad: ']][][['
ok: '[[]][[]]'
bad: '[[[][]]]]['
bad: '][[[]][]][[]'
ok: '[[]][[[][[]]]]'
bad: ']][]]][[][][[][['
</pre>
 
If input strings are allowed to contain unrelated characters, this can be extended to:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="perl">sub balanced {
shift =~ /^ ( [^\[\]]++ | \[ (?1)* \] )* $/x;
}</syntaxhighlight>
 
<code>Regexp::Common::balanced</code> can give such a regexp too (here via a subroutine call)
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="perl">use Regexp::Common 'RE_balanced';
sub balanced {
return shift =~ RE_balanced(-parens=>'[]')
}
</syntaxhighlight>
 
Alternative implementation, using straightforward depth counting:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="perl">sub balanced {
my $depth = 0;
for (split //, shift) {
if ($_ eq '[') { ++$depth }
elsif ($_ eq ']') { return if --$depth < 0 }
}
return !$depth

=== Functional ===
{{works with|Python|3.2}}
Rather than explicitly track the count, we can just write the per-element test and use stdlib functions to turn it into a whole-sequence test. It's straightforwardly declarative, and hard to get wrong, but whether it's actually easier to understand depends on how familiar the reader is with thinking in `itertools` style.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="python">>>> from itertools import accumulate
>>> from random import shuffle
>>> def gen(n):
... txt = list('[]' * n)
... shuffle(txt)
... return ''.join(txt)
...
>>> def balanced(txt):
... brackets = ({'[': 1, ']': -1}.get(ch, 0) for ch in txt)
... return all(x>=0 for x in accumulate(brackets))
...
>>> for txt in (gen(N) for N in range(10)):
... print ("%-22r is%s balanced" % (txt, '' if balanced(txt) else ' not'))
...

=== Array Programming ===
{{libheader|NumPy}}
The numpy library gives us a way to write just the elementwise tests and automatically turn them into whole-sequence tests, although it can be a bit clumsy to use for character rather than numeric operations. The simplicity of the final expression probably doesn't make up for all that extra clumsiness in this case.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="python">>>> import numpy as np
>>> from random import shuffle
>>> def gen(n):
... txt = list('[]' * n)
... shuffle(txt)
... return ''.join(txt)
...
>>> m = np.array([{'[': 1, ']': -1}.get(chr(c), 0) for c in range(128)])
>>> def balanced(txt):
... a = np.array(txt, 'c').view(np.uint8)
... return np.all(m[a].cumsum() >= 0)
...
>>> for txt in (gen(N) for N in range(10)):
... print ("%-22r is%s balanced" % (txt, '' if balanced(txt) else ' not'))

There's More Than One Way To Do It.
===Depth counter===
 
{{works with|Rakudo|2015.12}}
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="raku" line>sub balanced($s) {
my $l = 0;
for $s.comb {
when "]" {
--$l;
return False if $l < 0;
}
when "[" {

}
 
my $n = prompt "Number of brackets";
my $s = (<[ ]> xx $n).flat.pick(*).join;
say "$s {balanced($s) ?? "is" !! "is not"} well-balanced"</syntaxhighlight>
 
===FP oriented===
Here's a more idiomatic solution using a hyperoperator to compare all the characters to a backslash (which is between the brackets in ASCII), a triangle reduction to return the running sum, a <tt>given</tt> to make that list the topic, and then a topicalized junction and a topicalized subscript to test the criteria for balance.
<syntaxhighlight lang="raku" line>sub balanced($s) {
.none < 0 and .[*-1] == 0
given ([\+] '\\' «leg« $s.comb).cache;
}
 
my $n = prompt "Number of bracket pairs: ";
my $s = <[ ]>.roll($n*2).join;
say "$s { balanced($s) ?? "is" !! "is not" } well-balanced"</syntaxhighlight>
 
===String munging===
Of course, a Perl 5 programmer might just remove as many inner balanced pairs as possible and then see what's left.
{{works with|Rakudo|2015.12}}
<syntaxhighlight lang="raku" line>sub balanced($_ is copy) {
Nil while s:g/'[]'//;
$_ eq '';
}
 
my $n = prompt "Number of bracket pairs: ";
my $s = <[ ]>.roll($n*2).join;
say "$s is", ' not' x not balanced($s), " well-balanced";</syntaxhighlight>
 
===Parsing with a grammar===
{{works with|Rakudo|2015.12}}
<syntaxhighlight lang="raku" line>grammar BalBrack { token TOP { '[' <TOP>* ']' } }
 
my $n = prompt "Number of bracket pairs: ";

===with over 125,000 permutations===
This REXX version generates over one hundred thousand unique permutations of strings that contain an equal
<br>amount of left &nbsp; <big>[</big> &nbsp; and right &nbsp; <big>]</big> &nbsp; brackets.
 
All &nbsp; ''possible'' &nbsp; strings of twenty or less characters (legal bracket expressions) are generated.
 
This eliminates the possibility of missing a particular character string permutation that may not be generated
<br>via a random generator.
 
Use is made of the &nbsp; '''countstr''' &nbsp; function &nbsp; (which is a BIF for newer REXX interpreters), but a RYO version is
<br>included here for older REXXes that don't contain that BIF &nbsp; ('''B'''uilt '''I'''n '''F'''unction).
 
Naturally, each of the one hundred thousand character strings aren't displayed (for balanced/not-balanced),
<br>but a count is displayed, as anyone can generate the same strings in other languages and compare results.

===Constructing correctly balanced strings===
It is, of course, possible to directly construct such a balanced string, this being much more useful as the length of the string to generate grows longer. This is done by conceptually building a random tree (or forest) and then walking the tree, with open brackets being appended when a node is entered from its root and close brackets being appended when a node is left for its root. This is equivalent to inserting a balanced pair of brackets at a random place in an initially-empty string <math>n</math> times, which might be done like this:
<syntaxhighlight lang="tcl">proc constructBalancedString {n} {
set s ""
for {set i 0} {$i < $n} {incr i} {
set x [expr {int(rand() * ([string length $s] + 1))}]
set s "[string range $s 0 [expr {$x-1}]]\[\][string range $s $x end]"
}
return $s
}</syntaxhighlight>
As noted, because the generated string is guaranteed to be balanced, it requires no further filtering and this results in much more efficient generation of balanced strings at longer lengths (because there's no need to backtrack).
 
=={{header|TMG}}==
Unix TMG is designed to process and generate files rather than process text in memory. Therefore generation and analysis parts can only be done in separate programs.
 
Generation program in Unix TMG:
<syntaxhighlight lang="unixtmg">program: readint(n) [n>0] readint(seed)
loop: parse(render) [--n>0?]/done loop;
render: random(i, 15) [i = (i+1)*2] loop2 = { 1 * };
loop2: random(b, 2) ( [b&1?] ={<[>} | ={<]>} ) [--i>0?]/done loop2 = { 2 1 };
done: ;
 
/* Reads decimal integer */
readint: proc(n;i) string(spaces) [n=0] inta
int1: [n = n*12+i] inta\int1;
inta: char(i) [i<72?] [(i =- 60)>=0?];

Analysis can be done easily using grammar specification, rather than counting brackets:
<syntaxhighlight lang="unixtmg">loop: parse(corr)\loop parse(incorr)\loop;
corr: brkts * = { < OK: > 1 * };
brkts: brkt/null brkts = { 2 1 };

function to check if it is balanced or not, Check_Balance, works if a balanced argument is passed manually.
