It's a cheat code.

Agreed.

You have equalateral, but it should be equilateral.

Still a complete duplicate without any originality.

Here at Codewars, we ensure that only the VERY BEST code is able to pass my tests.

Just kidding, redundancy. I don't know how, but if somehow you managed to make your code return true 49 out of 50 times this would catch you. ;)

Is it really necessary? Probably not. Does it affect the tests in any impactful way? No.

Thank you, I have very small brain! I understand now! :)

I have now realized that rather than checking the value of the input passed, it checks for the value of the variable s, even if it does not exist in my code...

#<NameError: undefined local variable or method `s' for main:Object>
main.rb:6:in `zero_and_one'
main.rb:14:in `block (2 levels) in <main>'
/runner/frameworks/ruby/cw-2.rb:180:in `wrap_error'
/runner/frameworks/ruby/cw-2.rb:72:in `it'
/runner/frameworks/ruby/cw-2.rb:206:in `it'
main.rb:13:in `block in <main>'
/runner/frameworks/ruby/cw-2.rb:55:in `block in describe'
/runner/frameworks/ruby/cw-2.rb:46:in `measure'
/runner/frameworks/ruby/cw-2.rb:51:in `describe'
/runner/frameworks/ruby/cw-2.rb:202:in `describe'
main.rb:12:in `<main>'

This is what happened when I used x and y as my variables.

Testing for:       
s = "11"      
Correct result should be: 14
Expected: 14, instead got: 2

Testing for:       
s = "11"      
Correct result should be: 12
Expected: 12, instead got: 2
 
Testing for:       
s = "1111111"      
Correct result should be: 11
Expected: 11, instead got: 7

Testing for:       
s = "0"      
Correct result should be: 7
Expected: 7, instead got: 1

This is happening in ruby and, needless to say, I am very confused. Am I misunderstanding what the problem wants? I am not mutating the input, as you can see in my code below, and it passes the basic tests with no issue.

Works like a charm, thank you!

Uhhhhh...

Needs a standard of some sort for floats.

I believe that I have fixed the issue, if you don't have any problem executing your code please let me know so that I may mark it as resolved.
