    I have been solving this problem for two days. I've tried a lot of options. And yes! It started working in the development environment. And here (For input string: "") Added even a null exception and NOTHING! What did I leave out or is it not a complete description of what should be when entering an empty string.

    I am learning Haskell currently, and this was certainly a challenge! I learned a lot about the language from this Kata.

  • avichii Avatar

    I took me few hours, im not going to lie. i took the worst decision by choosing dictionary approach. but i stuck with it for some reason and ultimetly finished the kata. feels good. even tho the time complexity of my code is O(n^2), it doesn't matter ;). thank you for providing this amaizing kata.

    On the first test "A wise old owl lived in an oak" it's not "65 119esi 111dl 111lw 108dvei 105n 97n 111ka". "lived" is "108devi" not "108dvei" when encrypted

    I kinda hate how the solutions are either long and convuluted (like mine) or use a regex to shortcut everything. I do understand that regex is a strong skill to use in C#, but it is difficult to read and may be reducing the core of this challenge.

    Sorry, I'm some confused. I have got this result. I don't understand what difference between two string expected '65 119esi 111dl 111lw 108devi 105n 97n 111ka' to equal '65 119esi 111dl 111lw 108dvei 105n 97n 111ka' Can you help me?

    In Python, you should import the solution and test framework explicity into Sample Tests

  • Naom-Roads Avatar

    Many of my tests are passing, but I noticed something very strang with the ones that aren't. Without giving too much away, when I convert my first letter into an ascii character there are some words that duplicate the conversion, it looks to happen when the letters are the same and close to each other. e.g that > ttah > 116116ah anyone run into this before, I am completely stumped.

    Ruby 3.0 should be enabled, see this to learn how to do it

    Please organize the structure of test fixture as following (although it has been mentioned in the attached link, I'm repeated here again)

    describe "<This message should describe the categories of test groups inside this block>" do
  it "<A short message describing this test group>" do
    expect(...).to eq(...) #Assertions
    #Or Test.assert_equals(user_response, reference_response)
  end

    I've forked the Rust translation in order to update it to Rust 1.49 and updated rand::Rng::gen_range to its new signature that takes a std::ops::Range.

    The description now also contains a code block for Rust.

    Hello. Python. My code passes sample tests or example tests. (If necessary, I can send, but not here.) But, when there is a full test suite, it produces an almost random number of errors, from 25 to 40. Everything is always identical, except for the differences. The differences between my answer and the solution are always the following:

    Answer - 82hbdOh My - 104RbdOh

    Answer - 120YSuUNY My - 89xSuUNY

    Answer - 89rjXpYJBzwwOUnCphr My - 114YjXpYJBzwwOUnCphr

    Here people wrote about double spaces, but this is not a space. And about the fact that always if a word is two letters, then the letters should be interchanged, probably not true, because in the model tests this is not there, in the description either, and in more than half of the full tests there are no errors. I am writing as a last chance. Because I’ve been here for 3 hours on this error. Thanks for everyrhing.

    For C Language:

    I'm getting results that I've never seen here before. When it says "expected 65" received "blah blah blah", the kata is telling me I'm getting all of the test cases as a received. My function is returning a run-on combination of all of the strings that are found in the test cases. I'm using calloc for dynamic memory allocation. Is the Kata not wanting us to use malloc/calloc? I've been digging through the test functions and I cannot find how I would be getting this.

    Please excuse my ignorance but I'm not sure from the below what the [n 97n] part of this expected outcome is actually referring to? I can't think what random input would create this output. 

    expected:<...dl 111lw 108dvei 105[n 97n] 111ka>
 but was:<...dl 111lw 108dvei 105[ 97] 111ka>

    Does anyone know what is the problem with this error statement? The codes passed the Random Test but not the Fixed Test. The codes encrypted all the example provided correctly in JGraps without error. Is there any suggestion?

    This kata should be 5 kyu if random tests might generate empty strings as random words:

    private def randomWord(): String =
  Random.alphanumeric.filter(_.isLetter).take(Random.nextInt(20)).mkString.toLowerCase

    And this would work as expected (no random spaces before/between/after words):

    private def randomWord(): String =
  Random.alphanumeric.filter(_.isLetter).take(Random.nextInt(20) + 1).mkString.toLowerCase
  • clcraig Avatar

    Test code for C doesn't provide useful output for errors in the randomized tests. It just tells you that "The expression (as strings) (one) == (two) is false." It's not clear to the user that "one" and "two" are variable names, not the expected and received values. See @Satielo's issue below. The error messaging needs to be reworked.

  • Satielo Avatar

    in the kata encrypt this, with C languaje, theres is a kind of error, because teh kata says, firstable, the first character of each word must be replaced with its ascii code, and in one of the test it shows the next message:

    The expression (as strings) (one) == (two) is false.

    this cant be correct because "t" is not the ascii code for o, and "wo" can not be the reverted position of "ne", i tried to complete the kata, my code passed all the tests, except for this one.

  • user7552630 Avatar

    There are still double spaces in random tests in python version.

  • user3923545 Avatar

    There are spelling mistakes even in the tests. For example "wise" is "119eis" not "119esi" unless you're reversing the letters in the entire string as well, which the instructions don't say.

    I do not know what happens with the tests, when I perform my function it does it in the correct way in the way it is in the instructions, but it tells me that it expects another value and it is the sentence with repeat cheracteres. What happen?

  • JessicaSung Avatar

    In Javascript "Run Sample Tests", only the first test runs.

  • midan Avatar

    Shouldn't the fact that the double spaces and the ones at beginning/ end of the string must disappear from the solution? or at least include these examples in the test cases?
