How does this have anything to do with math?

Thanks a lot. I'll be more careful.

Q: Is the test incorrect or does it not work with Python?

So why is this labelled an issue and not a question?

Test is correct. The challenge works in Python. Your solution is not correct, because you changed the name of the function.

It is not a kata issue.

Hi, mates. When solving this problem, the system produces the following error:

ImportError: cannot import name 'contamination' from 'solution' (/workspace/default/solution.py)

Q: Is the test incorrect or does it not work with Python?

I see the problem now: RISC-V assumes that the second argument is a single character (not a string). It should be fixed.

~~~if-not:riscv
If the text or the character are empty, return an empty string.  
There will never be a case when both are empty as nothing is going on!!

**Note:** The character is a string of length 1 or an empty string.
~~~
~~~if:riscv
If the text is empty, return an empty string.
~~~

I interpreted that as different actual task specifications.

I have no problem with the memory management thing ( I add such sections for LC all the time, though it could be done in initial code as well - and sometimes I do that ). But I would like to avoid if-not:riscv blocks.

What is wrong with RISC-V? It follows all best practices for languages with manual memory management.

If the problem is in a different description for RISC-V, then it could be easily fixed. I personally do not like language-specific descriptions and would prefer to have a comment in the initial solution which specifies how the user solution should return results.

( RiscV )

Translation should use the same specs as every other language. Won't entirely do away with description language-dependency, but there is no excuse for using different specifications for the actual task.

Updated for 2024: better test feedback.

cool kata
