The Nested Multiplier

You are given a string representing a number nested within several pairs of parentheses. Each pair of parentheses doubles the value of everything inside it. Use recursion to find the final value. Input: A string S consisting of zero or more '(' followed by an integer, followed by matching ')'. Output: The computed integer value. Example: Input: ((10)) Output: 40 (Explanation: (10) = 20, so ((10)) = 40)
