100% agree i never understood using while loops as if they're for loops

Indeed it looks like something that's "clever"(though at that level there isn't much space for using cleverness, in particular in C). I for example, dislike using while loops when a for loop works(along with the better readability to me), and how it mutates the value.

Thanks for the awesome kata!
I learned a lo tfrom it:)

I'd personally stay away from this solution as it's not Python 2.xx compatable. But I guess you could always do an "import future". Good luck.

ATTENTION: IT WILL PRIORITIZE COMMAS OVER CAPITALS but not over regulars

The C# translation initial code has the return type as "char", but all the tests expect a return type of "string".

This kata is rated 78% im guessing for the same reason as the one i have.

The letter cases seem to be the issue. I have created my own test cases with the same letter both in upper and lowercase, and my code still works

Hi, Great Kata! Having a problem with one test case in JS:

For the input: ∞§fi›fl∞§ I get: Expected: fi, instead got: › but fi is repeated in the test string, › is not. What am I missing? (It seems that â and º are being read as one character despite the fact that they appear to be separate characters, same with ï and ¬). I think I'm missing something in my understanding of this test case. Please help :)

First, thanks for the kata:)
yet it should be ranked as level 6 or 7

Thanks for this entertaining kata:)
