C translation (author inactive)
This is a backport of the C translation for the master level of this kata.

There is one use case that I do not understand. How can the left half and the right half of the array weigh the same if there is one ball heavier on either sides?? When I call the scales.weight function comparing elements 0-3 and 4-7 in some cases I get 0 which means they weigh the same, shouldn't the sum of ball weights with one heavier be more than the sum of the rest that weigh the same. This is driving me crazy. Can someone explain it to me please? Thanks I really appreciate it.
OCaml translation.
Please review and approve, thanks !

Ruby 3.0 should be enabled.
Tests passed but when I attempt to submit I got this: "Time: 2284ms Passed: 1 Failed: 0 Exit Code: 132"
What "Exit Code: 132" means? Maybe not all tests passed?
Ruby, Crystal and c++ translations kumited :)
All 9 are approved. Sorry it took so long. Thank you very much for translations.
No worries, cheers :)
@tiriana,This kata isn't compatible with Python 3 because of
xrange.Fixed. Thanks for reporting.
Due to error on Python example of "Find heavy ball - level: novice" which can only be solved with 2 weighings and not 4 you can copy paste that code here and solve this kata in seconds. Same works vice versa. This means taht by solving the hardest kata, you can get two others for free, which feels wrong for people trainig, but it is also kind of unfair because you effectively submit same kata 3 times and just change one parameter. Is it possible to change examples in a way that code won't be interchangable?
I don't visit codewars so often lately. But are you saying python translations are broken in some way?
Andnsecond thing: when I was cresting this kąta, I wanted to have something like 'difficulty level' but codewars does not support it. So I went with three Katas so people can see that single parameter can change solution drastically. Of course, if you solved it for 'master' level, you'll get two lower levels for free.
Just like LDeleuran mentioned, it should be made clear what the
scalesobject contains, how to use it and how to get the weight.Description should read: "before the scale breaks"
It should be clear that you can use the scales.weight property
it should be clear that the pans should always be arrays - single numbers are not allowed.
Thanks for feedback.
Description should read: "before the scale breaks" Done :)
It should be clear that you can use the scales.weight property
it should be clear that the pans should always be arrays - single numbers are not allowed.
I changed scale object. I used the previous one as prototype, for backwards compatibility. Now scale has only one method -
getWeight(left, right). I also added some description about how to use the scale. I'm marking as resolved.
