Haha. Thanks for the suggestion :-)

Great to hear :), you're welcome.

Good luck with the next one, it's much tougher. :)

Thanks!

After actually attempting the C++ version I found several more issues but I fixed them myself. Now there's a new problem which I didn't put much thought into and thus ignored, but it really should be changed.

Since I'm already a contributor I can adjust my code and simply replace the user's and reference solutions, or the author could try fixing his monstrocity himself. @anter69 what do you think?

@anter69 approve the fork, it seems to be alright now.

I'll wait for FArekkusu's feedback before resolving the issues, but thanks :-)

Please see the above issues and fix them ;-)

There is a ton of useful stuff in Guava and Apache Commons which are available on CW :)

Great, you did find a problem with the kata after all:

      //std::string result = encode_solution(s);
      //Assert::That(encode(s), Equals(result));
      std::string result = decode_solution(s);
      Assert::That(decode(s), Equals(result));

The random decode testing had the encode function(s) called for both the user and the reference solutions. You can see the above changes I've just now made to resolve this issue. Thanks for the feedback.

I just tweaked my C code and ran it through the C++ translation and made it work. The test suite seems to be working fine. Please note that more than 600 coders have solved this in C++. To properly show evidence of any issue with this translation, you'll need to provide: the input, the expected output, and what your code returned.

Hi ElectricZatch. You would need to solve the kata in a language that is currently available first. You can then submit a translation for review but it must have several random tests included.
