Not the best solution because it assumes you are in the US.

Really nice kata, thanks.

then the description should explicitely say "if string[index] is not a parenthesis, return -1" and all languages should have fixed tests for it.

What's the big difference between a parenthesis without a matching one, or something that is not even a parenthesis? In both cases, the return value is defined ( as -1 or another value that indicates "impossible" ).

I wrote the Haskell translation without the assumption string[index] will be a parenthesis, precisely because it isn't explicitly specified.

Very nice kata to solve.

Approved.

Funny kata to solve...

Very nice kata, well done.

omg xDDD, but i guess if this is the case, then it should be something like 8 kyu?

I wasted my time because of the gaps. It was a useless endeavor.
