PROGRAMMING CHALLENGE

so yeah.... we've been a bit lax in our actual programming. I've been drawing for my game, and havent done programming, until today in science class, when I made a temperature converter. I forgot how fun it was, so here is a programming challenge i'm going to undertake, and I hope all of you will make your own/ critique my work. I'll post tomorrow or the day after

Description:
Write a function, where given a string of arbitrary characters, returns true if all brackets (defined as parentheses, square-brackets, curly-braces, and chevrons) are correctly paired and ordered. This is to say that all brackets, if they enclose other brackets, enclose both the paired opening and closing characters.
Formal Inputs & Outputs:
Input Description:
string data - a given string that may or may not have correctly formed brackets.
Output Description:
Return True or False - true if the given string is correctly bracket formed.
Sample Inputs & Outputs:
"123", "(abc)", "()abc()", and "([<{abc123abc}>])" should return true, but "(abc[123)abc]" (wrong pairing) and "(abc>" (not closed) should return false.
Notes:
This is a very easy problem if you use a specific primitive data-structure.

Someone's caught the formal computer science bug?

It seems simple enough, I think I'll try to do it in Processing when I don't have an essay to finish. Processing is good for mock-ups and experiments.

There's probably a much cleaner way(less line intensive) of doing this. If EQ was active he'd probably have it in under 15 lines.
Here's what I got:

Code: [Select]

var bracketMatches = [{start:"<",close:">"},{start:"{",close:"}"},{start:"(",close:")"}, {start:"[",close:"]"}];
function init() {
	var string=prompt("Enter your string to parse: ","<[Your string]>");
	var bracketsMatch = true;
	var bracketArray = new Array();
	for (i = 0; i < string.length; i++) {
		if (isStartingBracket(string[i])) {
			bracketArray.push(string[i]);
		} else if (isClosingBracket(string[i])) {
			if (bracketArray.length > 0 && bracketArray[bracketArray.length-1] === getStartingBracket(string[i])) {
				//Matches closing bracket so you can pop it from the array.
				bracketArray.pop();
			} else {
				//Does not match closing bracket so abandon ship!
				bracketsMatch = false;
				i = string.length;
			}
		}
	}
	if (bracketArray.length > 0) {
		bracketsMatch = false;
	}
	
	if (bracketsMatch) {
		document.write("The string: <p>"+string+"<p><p> Has matching brackets.");
	} else {
		document.write("The string: <p>"+string+"<p><p> Does not have matching brackets.");
	}
}
function isStartingBracket(string) {
	for (i1 = 0; i1 < bracketMatches.length; i1 ++) {
		if (string === bracketMatches[i1].start) {return true;}
	}
	return false;
}
function isClosingBracket(string) {
	for (i1 = 0; i1 < bracketMatches.length; i1 ++) {
		if (string === bracketMatches[i1].close) {return true;}
	}
	return false;
}
function getStartingBracket(string) {
	for (i1 = 0; i1 < bracketMatches.length; i1 ++) {
		if (string === bracketMatches[i1].close) {return bracketMatches[i1].start;}
	}
	return null;
}

I apologise, but, in my opinion, you are mistaken. I can prove it. Write to me in PM.
