JS: Should mention that the input can be a string.
this is a 10 kyu level
This is a good kata to practice recursion. Not everyone is a recursion ninja
me likey!
Please, NASM Translation
Approved
There's a test with
NULLin C. It doesn't seem to be a valid argument according to the description and having multiple different representations of the same empty list is illogical and confusing.Why not just to edit the description? The
NULLcase has a right to exist to indicate the absence of a list... It seems O.k. to use0 for emptinessandNULL for absenceThink the issue could be closed...If a list is given, how can it be absent? And if a list is absent, there's nothing to calculate the length of, so it automatically implies some optional result (bool + pointer or some kind of error codes in C), which is definitely not what the kata is about.
A list is absent when the memory is not allocated, probably
NULLor somerubbish! Another case:This is a very strong point! In such cases
-1is usually returned when it's not possible to returnNULLfollowingBest Practices! But more than fifty solutions will be broken... O.k. could throw awayNULLcases from NASM Translation and fork C Confirm?_
Yes, at least
NULLtests should be removed. Or at most the whole C and JavaScript translations because this kata was about liked lists.Fixing...Please,
ResolvedC TranslationUniapi's C translation is approved. But the issue is still open: the JS translation should be updated.
@Unnamed, Will say something?

This clearly says that the input is a list (an array).
Even though a string is an iterable like an array, it's still a string, and if the input can contain anything other than a list, I think you should mention that in the description.

Note a typo in the Description: "funcion".
Also, it looks like the tested inputs are sometimes not an array (i.e. a string), so it'd be helpful to describe how to process those in the Description.
Thanks!
Please review C translation (in this case, C uses particular format to make the problem non-trivial)
I don't know why we need use recursive in this kata. If you need to test recursion, please set a suitable target.
