## Description
<section id='description'>
<p> Determine si una cadena generada de corchetes está equilibrada; es decir, si consiste completamente en pares de paréntesis de apertura / cierre (en ese orden), ninguno de los cuales se equivoca. </p>
Ejemplos:
<p class='rosetta__paragraph'> (vacío) verdadero </p>
<p class='rosetta__paragraph'> <code>[]</code> verdadero </p>
<p class='rosetta__paragraph'> <code>][</code> falso </p>
<p class='rosetta__paragraph'> <code>[][]</code> verdadero </p>
<p class='rosetta__paragraph'> <code>][][</code> falso </p>
<p class='rosetta__paragraph'> <code>[]][[]</code> falso </p>
<p class='rosetta__paragraph'> <code>[[[[]]]]</code> verdadero </p>
