Crawler Log Folder — stack

Push openers; a closer is legal only if it matches the current top. Built for LeetCode 1598. Crawler Log Folder.

The stack is the nest of brackets that are still open. A mismatch or a leftover opener at the end is an immediate no.

Algorithm

  1. On an opener, push.
  2. On a closer, the top must be its partner — otherwise reject.
  3. Return true only if the stack is empty at the end.
