    Hi Chrono.

    Apologies for the delayed response, I have been disconnected over the weekend.

    Ok, that makes sense. I will have a think and see if I can figure out how to use the pattern logic instead of building the entire queue.

    Hopefully I can figure something out!

    Once again, I really appreciate the help.

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Hi Chrono.

    Thanks so much for your detailed response, it's a great help.

    Could you perhaps give me an example of the kind of patern you're refering to?

    Please excuse my ignorance, I am just learning and there are clearly huge gaps in my knowledge as I'm at a loss regarding this one.

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Hi Chrono.

    It's not actually a nested loop. It's just a single 'while' loop containing a number of array methods and then a return statement outside of that.

    I will consider your cryptic clue, but I'm not sure I can make sense of it! Can you give me anything else??

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Hi guys.

    I'm enjoying this kata, but am having trouble with optimization. My code is doing what it needs to do, but timing out with the big numbers!

    I am using a loop (have tried both 'for' and 'while' loops) with some array methods inside it to reshuffle the queue, but it clearly is not performant enough.

    Could anybody give a clue as to what I could try to make my code more performant?

    Many thanks,
    Dave

    Hi. Thanks very much for your response.

    Yep, clearly I'm timing out on the long strings. I guess I need to keep working on optimizing my code then!

    Cheers :)

    Hi guys.

    How many tests are there? I am getting '60 passed, 0 failed, Exit code 1' (in 30ms), which relates to the 12000ms timeout. But are all the tests not completed already?

    I'm not sure what is timing out.

    Thanks!
