Bumping, because 3 years later it still hasn't been updated xD

as feedback: I think it would make sense to anchor this task to some real-world example (rather than it just being a glorified equation)..

I have no idea what was going on half the time

fair point. i've changed this for the future

It's important to guide them, but also allow some room for problem-solving and critical thinking, which are key aspects of coding.

Agreed.

• Error messages (and the code in general) have all been changes to snake_case
• Also, test-case code now uses f'x' strings to make it simpler

cheers!

I agree it could be very easy.. but i set the target for 8'th kyo so it's aimed at someone writing their first code anyway

I have now changed the task and tests to return tuples :)

What is the purpose of this kata if everything, including calculations, is already provided in the description?

Error messages should use the correct names of parameters (snake_case).

P.S. f-strings can automatically insert variable names, e.g.:

f' ... {amount_guest=} ...'

Fair point. I might see if i can change that later.

The pythonic way to return a couple of values is using a tuple, not a list.

Added changes:

• the 'Test Cases' now include random tests which i have set in a naturalNum range.
• the 'Test Cases' now have imports for solutions ("import codewars_test as test,
  import random")
• the 'Test Cases' now displey a more detailed input failiure message ("Failed for input: amountGuests=3, cupsPerGuest=2: [66, 930] should equal [60, 930]")

I hope that solves most of the issues. Let me know if there is anything else for me to republish the kata :)

-m

Haha, probably not! It was just for testing purposes. I can reset the range to natural numbers ^^

thanks for the feedback

Additionally, representing people and cups as negative numbers, and arguably as non-integers, does not make much sense. Are non-natural numbers really a valid domain for this problem?
