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.
Get started now by creating a new collection.
You are right, you are giving a hint in the task section. Anyhow, although I believe that my suggestion(s) would improve the satisfaction of users trying the kata it's up to you if you want to make any more changes in this direction...
I thought I did mention the formatting in the Task section...
Sorry, I should have explained my reasoning:
In both the input ant the output section it is not clear if x starts at zero or one. Therefore I suggested to add the explanations within brackets.
I also added the last sentence because the description does not state how to format the string with the quadratic formula but e.g. 'x^2+8' and 'x^2+0x+8' represent the same quadratic formula but the second version would not pass the tests. Alternatively you could also explain the formatting of the string in the text...
Indeed, I had to read the tests as well to understand. However, I do not think that's bad if the tests are well-written. If you are working in an industry environment you might quite often get programming tasks defined mainly by tests instead of wordy documents...
Hi there, thanks for your suggestion! Just a quick question: how can this improve my original suggestion?
I have suggestions to improve the description. Change the section "Input" to:
3 parameters representing the first 3 terms of a quadratic sequence (that means the outputs of the sequence for x = 1, x = 2 and x = 3, respectively).
Change the section "Output" to:
A tuple, with the quadratic formula (as a string) and the fourth and fifth term of the sequence (that means the outputs with x = 4 and x = 5, respectively).
Check the tests to understand how to format the quadratic formula considering e.g. different coefficients.
Nice improvements and additions!
Great job!
Right, I guess at least a check to break the while loop if all board positions are taken but no player has won would be a good idea...
could check to see if it's still possible for either player to win and then automatically end it or something

A hint that numbers above 999 should return "NaR" would be nice.
