Merge two sorted lists: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-combining-two-sorted-lists/, I'd offer the second version as proof I understand how to use python. We can talk through how I'd handle this question on Friday.

I like the third solution for the parens problem: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/check-for-balanced-parentheses-in-python/

Both of these solutions are not what the FAANG companies would want to hear, but for other companies, it shows your knowledge and ability to implement things in python.

FAANG: Yes, but can you do this the hard way? Normal companies: Nice! It looks like you can effectively use python builtins vs writing a bunch of unnecessary code.
