Yea, Its alot harder kata than 7

same problem

6kyu

Thank you very much for the clarification.

When your function has reduced the array to a single integer following these rules, it should return that integer.

13 is a single integer, you don't need to return a number with a single digit.

[1, 7, 0, 6, 1, 9, 0, 7, 1, 6, 0, 9, 0]
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
[13]
13

Sorry. I should have written "the test result should be 1 not 13"

the description says:
"Numbers with no identical numbers preceding or following it returns a 1"
Therefore I would expect 13 gets reduced to 1.

I suppose, the following reduction is correct?
[0, 1, 1] -> [1, 2] -> [1, 1] -> [2] -> 2
Don't you agree?

No, 13 is correct. Not a kata issue. See https://docs.codewars.com/training/troubleshooting/#post-discourse.

A very poor report.

Why? as far as I see, the expected answer for this test is indeed 13?

the test result should be 2 not 13:
input: [1, 7, 0, 6, 1, 9, 0, 7, 1, 6, 0, 9, 0],
output: 13,

I notice a pattern on here where a lot of beginner katas (7kyu etc) are becoming near-untouchable for someone actually at that level, people complain about it, only to be countered by a bunch of 1 Kyu & 1 Dan folks with "it's actually correct to be 7kyu because... ==> <proceeds to list a bunch of concepts that are a solid 8-12 months away for someone who's actually 7 kyu>."

Even the author of this kata (see below) has estimated it to be at 4 Kyu FFS.

This was a fun challenge but sadly I won't be getting the points for a 5 kyu or 6 kyu kata that this kata is equivalent to. Ive done 1275 kata so I think my judgement isnt too bad in this area. I wonder just who these people are who are voting it level downwards like this. Maybe they're just doing it to show off to themselves or other people. The beta period for accessing kyu level needs to be extended until a hundred+ people have completed it. Otherwise you end up with this.

Approved

Looked very tough in the begining, but if you use the right tool it's very easier and correctly classified as 7 KYU.
