What is function of
digestin initial solution? Should that be modified? What is function of randrange and seed in this context?Please specify this in description.
Please use new python test framework.
Done!
Note: The example test that codewars provides shows
import codewars_test as teston the first line. This results in an unknown module error. Commenting out this line solves the issue. Note 2: This kata has been around for 4 years at least and still in beta. Not sure why I bother fixing it if it's going to remain in beta.For future reference: the line
import codewars_test as testis necessary in Python 3.8 but does not work in 3.6. When you add it, make sure that 3.8 is selected.This comment has been hidden.
I just saw the tag "requierment comprehension"... ;)
Well, why not. But I find the thing a bit weird. I'm like you about my performance tests, on this point! ;) (btw, I removed the 3 of them in my kata, you should be able to submit, now)

When I wrote this kata, I wanted to describe what was happening at the decoding end, and the challenge was to invert this to produce what was done at the encoding end. Now, I can follow your advice and describe what is done at the encoding end, which would indeed make the kata much easier to solve, but then I would be giving away part of the solution. So I ended making the description of what is happening at the decoding end very precise by providing the code for that part and asking for the code of the inverse function. I have removed all indexing from the description, thereby avoiding confusion.
Very nice idea!!
