    You have to find the minimum path of length k in the grid. You can start
    from any cell, and in each step you can move to any of the neighbor cells,
    in other words, you can go to cells which share an edge with you current
    cell.
    Please note that a path of length k means visiting exactly k cells (not
    necessarily distinct).
    You CANNOT go off the grid.
    A path A (of length k) is considered less than a path B (of length k) if
    after making the ordered lists of the values on the cells that A and B go
    through (let's call them lst_A and lst_B), lst_A is lexicographically less

Step 1: Use the modulo operator (`%`) with `1.0` to isolate the remainder after division by 1, which represents the decimal component.
Step 2: Alternatively, subtract the integer cast of the number (`int(number)`) from the original float to extract the leftover fractional part.

    """ Check if in given list of numbers, are any two numbers closer to each other than
    given threshold.

Response:
Step 1: Use a nested loop to compare each number in the list with every other number.
Step 2: Calculate the absolute difference between each pair of distinct elements.
Step 3: Return True if any difference is less than the threshold; otherwise, return False after checking all pairs.
Final Answer: \boxed{
    for idx, elem in enumerate(numbers):
        for idx2, elem2 in enumerate(numbers):
            if idx != idx2:

    >>> separate_paren_groups('( ) (( )) (( )( ))')

    """

Response:
Step 1: Initialize a `result` list for groups, a `current_string` buffer, and a `current_depth` counter to track nesting levels.
Step 2: Iterate through the string, incrementing depth for `'('` and decrementing for `')'`, while appending brackets to the buffer (ignoring spaces).
Step 3: When `current_depth` returns to zero, a balanced group is complete; join the buffer into a string, add it to `result`, and reset the buffer.
Final Answer: \boxed{
    result = []
    current_string = []
    current_depth = 0

    for c in paren_string:
