    I don't know if the description changes per language used but it says the following:

    Return True if you're better, else False!
    

    which would imply that I need to return string True or False, since the keywords in JS are lowercase.

    Could that be a quick fix?

    I'm not sure, you could surely ask your other moderators or contributors for help. But I'd say for 8 kyu, friendly reminders are nice to see. You could also reference the katas that have received very positive feedback and see how to establish a consistent submission of katas that are well constructed.

    damn didn't know Mods here were condescending, that's crazy.

    But to answer your question that was barely readable: not sure, probably not. But actually, I didn't know that 1000ms = 1s. Maybe I just forgot, but if I did, so will others.

    So what I recommend is that you add that conversion in there as a friendly reminder.

    Could we also add the conversion of milliseconds to seconds? I believe in this example it's 1000ms = 1s, but it would be appreciate if that was written down

    yeah this makes no sense to me. maybe @Cito could explain this in more detail

  • Custom User Avatar

    yeah quite complicated for an 8 kyu.

    and is s = stairs? I'm not sure because they dont use the same variable names in the example...

    Yeah I think that's much better, thanks Chrono :)

    I'm sure all of us beginners will appreciate this.

  • Custom User Avatar

    yes, exactly. examples can greatly help beginners understand the problem at hand. Plus to be PC (politically correct), you should not mention 'simple' in the beginning. We already know 8 kyu is simple, but for those who don't know how to solve this, you're just making them feel worse with that terminology.

    How does this pass their QA? there's no examples and no elaborate explanation on the problem. This is specially important for beginners, given how this is an 8 kyu challenge.

    the author mentions: "Simple, remove the spaces from the string, then return the resultant string."

    but again: you are explaning this to beginners... we need all the help we can get!!

    just observing off the bat that they really should be including example cases to go off. For one, I dont you pounds and euros (i dont even know if those are the values explained)

    it would be appreciated in every code challenge description, specially for 8kyu
