Hello 🙂
You're right, the goal wasn't to rebuild the code, but to fix the existing one. However, the author wasn't so strict about it, because he didn't include it in the tests. I think it's a trifle, although being very strict, you're right.
Thanks 😉

You misunderstood the whole purpose of the kata.

Thanks for the appreciation ☺️ Best regards 🙂

Hi BitemNet,

An interesting solution. Clever approach!

i first thought of this but mine takes less time

Beautiful!

It's actually very simple. If you don't know how the code works, try to follow it through a few examples, then everything should be clear. There are a few tricks used here.

Tried this and dunno why I ended using .format() instead becaus I had an error pointing the "f". I just tried again now and it didn't appeared.

The other "problem" was due the order of if-elif, being conscient of it I used != 1 or -1 instead. Not best practices, but...

the last line looks kinda cryptic for me
but the solution looks cool actually

The test constraints work perfectly. Thats why solutions without those unnecessary checks pass.

i'm feeling like some retarded, lmao :D

I love it!

I just wanted to say that building applications that are resistant to unexpected user use requires writing more code.

You're telling me that undefined behaviour in a system is... undefined? Shocking.

How many fewer lines of code would we have if users typed what we wanted? 😉
