Thank you so much for your explanation and the function explaining it. I tested it and it worked with my assumptions in the way your functions explained. I shall look more into bitwise operations as well.

Nice to hear that!

bc it has type [a] -> [[a]] -> a

Inconceivably!

This is a great example of a solution that is rather clever, but I don't think would be considered a best practice for readability sake alone. The tilde is going to drive a lot of traffic to MDN ;-)

TY for intercalate!! Hoogle is good, but not quite good enough to suggest it when I searched the signature String -> [String] -> String

If you look at the haskell solutions now only one passes. Everything else no longer does. The reference solution is incorrect now.

for the last one the result in either the if or else case is the same right? I could def see the condition being depth <= 0 to silently move past unbalanced parentheses though.

I have been acting like a wildman trying to find what I'm doing wrong!! Thank you!!

what is thaat?
