When would we want to use this algorithm?

The algorithm is used when you must generate valid parentheses combinations of length n, especially for tasks like code syntax validation and expression parsing. It's memory-efficient, safer for large n, and performs better with a reduced function call overhead, making it suitable for tasks with tight memory constraints.
