Kata

It doesn't specify how to specify the key either by string of symbol, they are just examples. This shouldn't make a difference when creating a solution.

I hit submit a few more times and it worked. Whatever.

I will look into this, it does seem like a rare case if you eventually passed it though, thanks for pointing it out!

This list would probably be just for stats, so there would be no point in getting to the top of it.

also in a real life situation you may get most improved but then you'd fail the course, this is just some extra information a teacher may like to know when looking over who has increased their knowledge. :)

sorry, could you explain....?

I honestly have no clue how python works but.. if you calculated the answer to be a floating point wouldn't you return a floating point number anyway and the same for integers?

I can still see the above mentioned problem by sakana378 in python.

For e.g. consider the following output:

It should work for random inputs too: [{'name': 'don, harold', 'improvement': 127}, {'name': 'blop, cassie', 'improvement': 96}, {'name': 'blop, Johns', 'improvement': 94}, {'name': 'sean, Wish', 'improvement': 0}, {'name': 'whimpy, Bug', 'improvement': 0}, {'name': 'horse, fire', 'improvement': -48}, {'name': 'matt, luck', 'improvement': -66}, {'name': 'mary, zip', 'improvement': -100}] should equal [{'name': 'don, harold', 'improvement': 128.0}, {'name': 'blop, cassie', 'improvement': 96.0}, {'name': 'blop, Johns', 'improvement': 94.0}, {'name': 'sean, Wish', 'improvement': 0}, {'name': 'whimpy, Bug', 'improvement': 0.0}, {'name': 'horse, fire', 'improvement': -48.0}, {'name': 'matt, luck', 'improvement': -66.0}, {'name': 'mary, zip', 'improvement': -100.0}]

In the output we can see that expected result wants improvement to be a float. Please help :(

then i guess use floating point? I didn't write the python solution and i don't know how python works but what i do know is. The python translation had to be submitted with a solution, so one exists also multiple people have completed this kata using python and because not everyones the same there are multiple solutions to the python version. so from that im concluding there was no issue in the first place. I don't know how to help you because i don't know much about python. if someone else here uses python and can provide a hint it would be appreciated.

Well, some random tests expected integer value and some floating point (May be there's something wrong ?). So I didn't change my code at all. I just tried submitting the same code over and over again which helped me finally. Completed the Kata successfully. Thanks!

Are you saying there are cases where the name is nil?

No, when the first mark is 0 and the last mark is 100.

IIRC, the kata expects it to be a 0 improvement because you actually only scored for a test, so no improvement.

How specific did you want?

Something like:

Result differs at element 2: Expected {"name"=>"steve, plum", "improvement"=>0} Got: {"name"=>"ash, cow", "improvement"=>0}

Expected: [{"name"=>"freeman, fire", "improvement"=>1625}, {"name"=>"whimpy, harold", "improvement"=>26}, {"name"=>"steve, plum", "improvement"=>0}, {"name"=>"ash, cow", "improvement"=>0}, {"name"=>"shaun, star", "improvement"=>-8}, {"name"=>"leroy, plum", "improvement"=>-65}, {"name"=>"dick, plum", "improvement"=>-100}], instead got: [{"name"=>"freeman, fire", "improvement"=>1625}, {"name"=>"whimpy, harold", "improvement"=>26}, {"name"=>"ash, cow", "improvement"=>0}, {"name"=>"steve, plum", "improvement"=>0}, {"name"=>"shaun, star", "improvement"=>-8}, {"name"=>"leroy, plum", "improvement"=>-65}, {"name"=>"dick, plum", "improvement"=>-100}]

That gives a quick summary, but also provides the full output to check.

Mh, you are right, but I modified the solution slightly and now I can't reproduce this error any more, while the basic test cases with more students with the same improvement work just fine; can you confirm if you happen to have this problem any longer?

[Also, posting directly under my comment below would help me get faster notifications^^']

Also, sorry to bother could you also look at your translations on this kata when you have the time, thanks :)

Still broken. "john, Johns" < "leroy, white"

It should work for random inputs too - Expected: [{"name"=>"whimpy, luck", "improvement"=>121}, {"n ame"=>"freeman, cassie", "improvement"=>52}, {"name"=>"cam, zip", "improvement"=>0}, {"name"=>"leroy, white", "improvement"=>0}, {"name"=>"john, Johns", "improvement"=>0}, {"name"=>"frog, luck", "improvement"=>-37}, {"name"=>"jeff, plum", "improvement"=>-57}, {"name"=>"alex, luck", "improvement"=>-100}], instead got: [{"name"=>"whimpy, luck", "improvement"=>121}, {"name"=>"freeman, cassie", "improvement"=>52}, {"name"=>"cam, zip", "improvement"=>0}, {"name"=>"john, Johns", "improvement"=>0}, {"name"=>"leroy, white", "improvement"=>0}, {"name"=>"frog, luck", "improvement"=>-37}, {"name"=> "jeff, plum", "improvement"=>-57}, {"name"=>"alex, luck", "improvement"=>-100}]

Changed the sorting code as I saw in some remote chance it could give problems: can you please confirm me it now it works well enough :)?

Confirm fixed.

Thank's for your most beautiful translations yet again! yeah that might be a tough one to write for other languages cause there is a fair bit of code :)

Ruby tests still broken.

I don't see what's wrong straight away, Could you explain what's wrong here? If you could please post your solution and mark it as having spoiler content :)

In the description, it says If there is a tie in improvements then order by name. In the above examples, where there is a tie, my solution puts the names in order by the first letter of the name field (or more letters as necessary). For instance, in the first example, where all of the improvements are 0, {"name":"leroy, plum","improvement":0} should be last if we sort by that method, because the first letter of the name (l) comes after the first letter of all the other names alphabetically. Hypothetically, we could be sorting by the second name, but in that case leroy, plum would be second to last, and frog, cow would be first. Same goes for the improvements of -100, I would think that freeman, Act should precede god, cow.

Sorry I see now I'll go and fix it up thank you for raising an issue :)

if you could test it now thank you :)
