Loading collection data...
Collections are a way for you to organize kata so that you can create your own training routines. Every collection you create is public and automatically sharable with other warriors. After you have added a few kata to a collection you and others can train on the kata contained within the collection.
Get started now by creating a new collection.

indeed they are^^
Codewars wasn't designed to test your ability to lookup solutions on StackOverflow. It was designed to challenge you to solve the problems yourself. So yeah you could lookup the answers but then you are just cheating yourself.
This doesn't mean that you can't use Google BTW. If you are stuck on a part or need a reference or something then of course do your research - thats how you learn and thats how you would do it on the job. However just finding the exact solution or asking for the solution from someone else is a cop out.
How does the community here react to using solutions found via google?
In my oppinion it's also a good practice to reuse existing code...
Is this practice cool on Codewars? I wanted to add, that I always tag reused code by adding a comment with the Link to the source...
I'm just asking because I hate cheater, and don't want to upset the Community as I realy appreciate, what you built here.
Should have tests, instructions are unclear.

Hmm, this sounds pretty bad. Good thing you caught this. What language are you using?
Also, can you reply with your
get_mode()
function? Marked as being a spoiler, or course :)Hi, not sure what is wrong with my solution. It passes all the tests except the mode one and gives this message:
doesn't work. Expected 9 but got 9.
Could the issue be a time problem? My overall run time was 1368ms.

I don't like how you placed additional information (not in the description) on your own site. (Which is great though...)
Other than this nuance, I enjoyed your kata a lot. Thanks!

Awesome, thanks for this feedback @taw and @nedsociety. I'll change the test so it gives a helpful error message instead of relying on the default timeout. I can definitely see how it would be less frustrating.
Yeah, the stress-call is realy a pain in the ass...
I got 7365ms now...
Maybe it's to advanced for my knowledge...
