Loading collection data...
Collections are a way for you to organize kata so that you can create your own training routines. Every collection you create is public and automatically sharable with other warriors. After you have added a few kata to a collection you and others can train on the kata contained within the collection.

Hi, did you ever sort out your problem?
Understood. There are other approaches that have linear and even constant run times. Read up on triangular numbers, for example.
I am trying to avoid a nested loop, because it keeps timing out, with what I currently have... And one of comments here, are of someone mentioning their code has two loops, and I think the creator of this kata, mentioning that nested loops will cause the code to time out, basically.
Yes. It's equivalent to
while ( true ) { ... }
ordo { ... } while ( true );
, but without block level scoping. When those loops are compiled into machine code, they're reduced to an unconditional jump instruction, i.e.goto
.Why are you trying to avoid a nested loop anyway?
FYI, when you post code to discourse, bracket it with block code formatting so it's easier to read.
I think this kata should contain a hint in the description, about when a number can be expressed as the sum of consecutive numbers, to be ranked as 7kyu.

Hello did you sort the problem out? I see this was posted last month.
Factor translation
Thank you, I took it for granted that it worked in Visual Studio.
Did you forget to include
using System;
statement?Not an issue. Your code is causing this.
I'm having an issue, where it tells me Convert doesn't exist in the current context.
As in:
Convert.ToInt32();
Am I missing something?
