Balanced Brackets

Function Name: isBalancedBrackets

Description

In many programming languages, brackets must all be correctly paired for code to be properly processed. A string of characters is said to be balanced if each opening bracket has a corresponding closing bracket of the same type and brackets are properly nested. Write a function to determine if a given string of brackets is balanced. The function should support parentheses '()', square brackets '[]', and curly braces '{}'.

Requirements

• The function should take a single parameter: a string consisting solely of brackets '()', '[]', and '{}'.
• The function should return a boolean value: true if the string is balanced, false otherwise.
• A balanced string has each opening bracket paired and nested correctly with a corresponding closing bracket of the same type.
• Brackets cannot overlap improperly, e.g., '(]' is not balanced.
• An empty string should be considered balanced.
• You can assume that there will be no characters other than brackets.

Examples

if isBalancedBrackets('([]){()}') then return true end -- should return true because the string is balanced.if isBalancedBrackets('[(]{)}') then return false end -- should return false because the string is not balanced.if isBalancedBrackets('') then return true end -- should return true because an empty string is balanced.
