spent three days. it was hard. I writed on the paper the steps - this helped me

A good one. Thank you

what should I learn to be able to write code for this kata?

The kata says that my poem is not a copy of the kata's poem. But it IS. My poem looks exactly same and I cheked for extra spaces - but it is perfect. One guy bellow sayd the the kata exepts only if in your code you type "1 buttles" instead of "1 buttle"... do not know what to say... Please help me

Are you talking about this part?
" 1 bottle of beer on the wall.
1 bottle of beer on the wall, 1 bottle of beer."
Do we need to write "1 bottles" istead of "1 bottle"?

I love this little cute kata! Thank you!))

omg, it looks like test case 5 HAS NO array b? Is it possible? What code I have to write to find out did main method passed both arrays or no? I do Java

I have same problem. Cannot pass the test 5 that has two empty arrays. I do check empty arrays in the beggining. It works in IntellijiIdea but doesnt work here.
if((a.length == 0) && (b.length == 0)){
return true;
}

hobovsky, I do it in Java. Why it is wrong?
if((a.length == 0) && (b.length == 0)){
return true;
}

I tryed && and & - nothing helps

no need to use abs. do not do it

I passed 12 and failed in 1. Cannot pass test 5 with two empty arrays. But I do check length of both arrays and if BOTH of them are 0 I return TRUE ((a.length == 0) & (b.length == 0)) Am I right??
