I'm having an STRERR message when I attempt to run my code (tests run fine): free(): invalid next size (fast)
I believe there may be an error in the line for the C tests, for strin="nine", n=9.
I'm getting the following strerr message when I attempt my C code (tests run fine): free(): invalid next size (fast)
I believe there is an issue with the C test code, as I use a calloc, and it works fine in the preceding cases. It seems to fail on the test strin="nine", n=9.
think this should be 8kyu.

Haven't you forgotten something at the end of your string ? ;)
Yup to add \0. thanks mate

n = 0is incorrect - the description does not mention that you should returnNULLin this case. In fact you should return the empty string (why?)malloc()ed buffer does not account for the number of timesnthe string is repeated so it is often too short to contain the resultmalloc()ed buffer contains garbage values by default so you need to initialize it properly before performing string operations on it such asstrcat()Should be 8th kyu, not 7th.
Kyu can't be changed :( I don't get why though.
Probably because it would convert CW into a permanent mess / battlefield.
No random tests in
Julia translation
Hi, I'm having some issues with this kata. The code works just fine but on a random test i've got an error " free(): invalid pointer " but it doens't seem to come from the program. Would anyone have an idea on how to solve it ?
Yes! Same here. Did you find out if it was your code or something else?
Thank you very much.
the solution works on other compailers but not here c++ 14
It shoud be on kyu 8
It seems like 8 kyu
C translation kumited
please scrutinize for approval

i've some problems, i don't why it doesn't run when my code in Eclipse works well
symbol: method repeat(int) location: variable string of type String 1 error
The Java version available on CW doesn't support
repeatmethod.Also this is still a duplicate of https://www.codewars.com/kata/string-repeat.
Some language version does not have random tests.
Raised above with more detail
Sample test is failing for me even though submission passes.
"Time: 635ms Exit Code: 255 Test Results: Log Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting ',' or ')' in /home/codewarrior/run.php on line 13"
Fixed
C# Translation, please review and approve :)

This is 8kyu...
No, is 9 kyu.

Groovy translation kumited. Please review and approve! Thanks, suic
Approved
I suggest rewording the description for JavaScript from: "Write a class function named repeat()" to "Write a function named repeat()", because even though the problem starts with
function repeater(), someone may believe the solution was supposed to start with theclasskeyword, or take the form of a method under a class constructor.This comment has been hidden.
And some other translation:
Please review and accapt if ok.
Haskell translation kumited. Please review and approve. Thanks, suic
Approved. I don't know Haskell, so I'm trusting that everything's right with your solution and tests. Is there documentation on what, as a kata author, I should do for translations or other kumite?
If there's any issue with the translation you could post a comment under this one and I'll fix it. As the author you can approve or reject a translation or fix issues if you know the language.

suic
Just tried and looked fine to me :)

Of course you created this issus AFTER you solved it and got the three points....
This comment has been hidden.
Crystal translation available here and Ruby transalation available here
with random tests ;). You should consider to add some random test case in you testing suite, otherwise use can hardcode the solution.
Hi nbeck I have
<fun>a SUGGESTION: I would split the translation and the issue comment.</fun>:)Hmmm I would like to do that... but I do not know why I am unable to edit my comment!
Sorry for that... it's probably because of my reply :( This is a good candidate for github bug report...
[edited]
Thanks, @nbeck, I've approved the translations and pythonized your random tests for the Python version.
In your description there is a difference in the first example: repeater('X', 5) -> "aaaaa". 'X' or 'a'
Ah, good catch. Fixed.
