Balanced brackets

Author: Filip Sergot

Generate a string with N opening brackets (“[”) and N closing brackets (“]”), in some arbitrary order.

Determine whether the generated string is balanced; that is, whether it consists entirely of pairs of opening/closing brackets (in that order), none of which mis-nest.
