# HumanEval/1
Implement a file **`solution.py`** that completes the function below. Keep the given name and signature; your file must define it at module level.
```python
from typing import List
def separate_paren_groups(paren_string: str) -> List[str]:
""" Input to this function is a string containing multiple groups of nested parentheses. Your goal is to
separate those group into separate strings and return the list of those.
Separate groups are balanced (each open brace is properly closed) and not nested within each other
Ignore any spaces in the input string.
>>> separate_paren_groups('( ) (( )) (( )( ))')
['()', '(())', '(()())']
"""

You are an expert programmer. Solve the task exactly as specified. Output your solution as fenced code blocks using the required file name(s) and the exact function/type signatures requested. Prefer correctness; do not include prose outside code unless asked.
