Can't use string literals
If you're going to forbid certain things, it helps solvers immensely if the tests give accurate failure messages.
When I have a literal string in my solution, I get "Error: You cannot use general math operators, or regex", which points in a totally wrong direction if I also have "&" in it. Because "&" might fall under "math operators such as
[+-*/%]".Be precise, both in specifications and in error messages. "such as" and "some parts" have no place in specifications.
This has been done. It was called "additionless addition" or something.
Additionless Addition
There is only the difference in handling the 'negative' string component that makes these kata different. I was able to take my
addfunction from doing this beta, and copy-paste it exactly into the other kata, and it worked.Sample tests are broken.
I have fixed them, thank you for the input.
You should unpublish immediately and add random tests.
Thank you for the feed back, I hope I've managed to resovle everything, but if you happen to do this again and see any issue please leave another comment.
