JS is OK, your solution has a couple of errors. After fixing three (or so) incorrect thngs in your solution I was able to make it pass.

Yes

In other words you have to figure out whether the discrete maximum comes before or after the continous maximum and adjust the discrete result accordingly

It's been 2 years, hasn't been enabled either.

Thanks for explanation! This solution is extremely clever!

I guess:

 ["Jack",     ["Computer repair", "Handyman", "House cleaning"],
  "Leon",     ["Computer lessons", "Computer repair", "Data recovery service"]  
  "Maria"]    ["Computer lessons", "House cleaning"]

Each pro is related to one of those preferences array?

Array of the same length as pros. For each valid i preferences[i] is a sorted array of unique elements, representing the categories the ith Pro provides services in.

Basically, you have two arrays of pros and their categories and the kata asks you to return an array of arrays with [[category name_1], [pro_1_name, ... , pro_n_name]] all of that sorted

Yes, it was a painful Kata that left mixed impressions. Not so bad actually =)

Mh, it looks like it did not take a fix I did a while ago.

Resubmitted now.

Randomly.

@Giacomo take a look at it again, it is as jake-utk says, the reference solution expects wrong results.

The test for 9 still expects a return of 3 in JavaScript instead of 2. Based on these comments I assumed this had been fixed, but it doesn't appear so. Is this solvable in JavaScript at this point?

• in your ex 1:
  / is 2 doors away.
  / should be 1 door away (or less) for there to be a crash.
  \ on the other hand should be 2 doors away (or less) for there to be a crash
• in your 2 other examples, both sides have a door (irrespective of direction) in position 0 so there is a crash.
• so a forward slash on LHS at same postion as backward slash on RHS will cause a crash, etc.
  The instructions could have been a bit clearer on this point.

I guess you figured it out by now, but the answer is - that is only supported in node v12+, which wasn't available at the time (not enabled for this kata yet either).

Sorry for missing this question.

validate doesn't get (username,password) at all. It completely relies on the fixed order of tests.
