too verbose

very good solution

Do you primarily use C++?

It's a very good solution.

The kata states input will be a non-negative integer. In cases like these I assume the validation/input scrubbing has happened before attempting to call the function.

A few years late on the reply, and maybe the overview has changed since, but it states the input will be a non-negative integer

bruh

yes, when there's only one statement to execute

I'd definitely want to have some input validation and filtering in place before hitting the eval. Despite what others say about the evils of eval, it's perfectly legitimate to use if, and only if, you know fully what you'll be feeding into it and that it won't crash your code, so filtering to test for NaN inputs, and/or wrapping in a try/catch block should be the case here.

Is this really the best practice? I mean should I not put the numerator as a seperate variable? Granted I have done the same thing, but is it really best practice?

You shouldn't use if else, you can do it with array

thanks for telling me :)

We knew, your a genius...
