It depends on language, but:

• Parsing as a 32-bit or 64-bit int or long will not work. Maybe it used to, but it definitely should not work in this kata.
• Parsing to BigInt should be not allowed and should be blocked in languages which have BigInt types. But some languages have poor tests and if you try hard enough, you might find a way.

General idea of this kata is to perform addition of large numbers "manually", without a support of big integer utilities.

That's what happens when you don't add logs at the beginning, but put them somewhere in the middle. If you put it on first line, you would notice that your code fails for number 0.

Hi, I got a bit busy with work and life hence the dealy, but I ran my code a couple more times until I found only 6 mismatching results.

I then continued to write a small console application to test against these values.

I also manually checked these 6 values.

And this is what I get:

input: 92727

output: 92727

system result: True

ManualJob:

9^5 + 2^5 + 7^5 + 2^5 + 7^5
59049 + 32 + 16807 + 32 + 16807

= 92727

This is True

input: 187435105

output: 178759414

system result: False

ManualJob:

1^9 + 8^9 + 7^9 + 4^9 + 3^9 + 5^9 + 1^9 + 0^9 + 5^9
1 + 134 217 728 + 40 353 607 + 262 144 + 19 683 + + 1 953 125 + 1 + 0 + 1 953 125

= 178 759 414

This is False

input: 24678050

output: 24678050

system result: True

ManualJob:

2^8 + 4^8 + 6^8 + 7^8 + 8^8 + 0^8 + 5^8 + 0^8
256 + 65 536 + 1 679 616 + 5 764 801 + 16 777 216 + 0 + 390 625 + 0

= 24 678 050

This is True

input: 980376545

output: 576257597

system result: False

ManualJob:

9^9 + 8^9 + 0^9 + 3^9 + 7^9 + 6^9 + 5^9 + 4^9 + 5^9
387 420 489 + 134 217 728 + 0 + 19 683 + 40 353 614 + 10 077 696 + 1 953 125 + 262 144 + 1 953 125

= 576 257 604

This is False

input: 1741725

output: 1741725

system result: True

ManualJob:

1^7 + 7^7 + 4^7 + 1^7 + 7^7 + 2^7 + 5^7
1 + 823 543 + 16 384 + 1 + 823 543 + 128 + 78 125

= 1 741 725

This is True

input: 24678051

output: 24678051

system result: True

ManualJob:

2^8 + 4^8 + 6^8 + 7^8 + 8^8 + 0^8 + 5^8 + 1^8
256 + 65 536 + 1 679 616 + 5 764 801 + 16 777 216 + 0 + 390 625 + 1

= 24 678 051

This is True

I'm pretty sure I'm not reading the logs wrong :)

Thank you for looking into this Johan.
Noted: yes its C#, will keep that in mind for future reference.
I will continue to look into this and provide feedback

They shouldn't. Either C# suddenly has a problem after 7 000 submitted solutions ( unlikely ), or you're reading the logs wrong. I'm going with the latter.

Please mention which language you're using next time, esp. if a kata has multiple.

Closing.

My code passes all the tests except for these:
Random_Number_Test

Test Failed
Expected: True
But was: False

I decided to log the input, output(my sum answer) and ture or false.
Please point out why these should be true:

input 1778653589
output 645006974
False

input 199898839
output 1952354824
False

input 671108264
output 194989385
False

input 793241850
output 564227289
False

Thank you

Hi I'm getting this issue:

"tests/Fixture.cs(117,15): warning CS0219: The variable 'passed' is assigned but its value is never used"

Is this a problem with 'tests/Fixture.cs'?
