+# Instructions
+
+Given a string containing brackets `[]`, braces `{}`, parentheses `()`, or any combination thereof, verify that any and all pairs are matched and nested correctly.
+Any other characters should be ignored.
+For example, `"{what is (42)}?"` is balanced and `"[text}"` is not.

+# Introduction
+
+You're given the opportunity to write software for the Bracketeer™, an ancient but powerful mainframe.
+The software that runs on it is written in a proprietary language.
+Much of its syntax is familiar, but you notice _lots_ of brackets, braces and parentheses.
+Despite the Bracketeer™ being powerful, it lacks flexibility.
+If the source code has any unbalanced brackets, braces or parentheses, the Bracketeer™ crashes and must be rebooted.
+To avoid such a scenario, you start writing code that can verify that brackets, braces, and parentheses are balanced before attempting to run it on the Bracketeer™.
