Mmmh, Safari refuses to show the images in the description of this kata due to a certificate issue. When I open it in Chrome it seems the formulas did not render very well. Deciphering the formula seems to be the hardest bit...

So, I read in the comments below that all '\n' should be preserved.
When I test my solution, the first one it fails on is:

stripcomments("stripcomments(str, ms) = nomorecomments(please())\n# Julia comments!\nstripcomments("I hope it works") # but I bet it won't\n", ["#"]) --> "stripcomments(str, ms) = nomorecomments(please())\nstripcomments("I hope it works")"

Expected: "stripcomments(str, ms) = nomorecomments(please())\nstripcomments("I hope it works")"
Occurred: "stripcomments(str, ms) = nomorecomments(please())\n\nstripcomments("I hope it works")"

So apparently I need to completely remove the line "# Julia comments!\n"?

But if I remove the empty lines completely, I fail on another test case. I see 13 people have completed this in Julia, so apparently I'm interpreting something incorrectly. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I want to like this kata. But I don't understand why I have to manipulate strings and deal with newline characters in the input. It distracts from the problem at hand. (C++)
