+# 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™.
