Write a function that checks an expression has matching brackets and returns true if it does and false otherwise.

 

e.g.

'The is a (full) sentence.' -> True

'(x + y)/ 4' -> True

'(x + y / 4' -> False

'((2 + 3) * (5 + 7))' -> True

'((2 + 3) * (5 + 7)' -> False 

from collections import Counter


def validate(sentence):
    c = Counter(sentence)
    left = c.get('(')
    right = c.get(')')
    if left is not None and left == right:
        return True
    return False


assert validate('The is a (full) sentence.')
assert validate('(x + y)/ 4')
assert not validate('(x + y / 4')
assert validate('((2 + 3) * (5 + 7))')
assert not validate('((2 + 3) * (5 + 7)')
assert not validate('()((((((')
assert not validate('no brackets here')

from collections import Counter


def validate(sentence):
    counter = Counter(sentence)
    if counter.get('(') == counter.get(')'):
        return True
    return False


assert validate('The is a (full) sentence.')
assert validate('(x + y)/ 4')
assert not validate('(x + y / 4')
assert validate('((2 + 3) * (5 + 7))')
assert not validate('((2 + 3) * (5 + 7)')
assert not validate('()((((((')
assert validate('no brackets here')
