As far as I can tell, there is no reason to ensure long division is done, since the actual average value isn't returned. You just need to know if your score is higher than the average and since all of the scores are integers, there is no case where the decimal would change whether you scored higher than the average or not.

First i was thinking, the average was not good, then i understand.

Thanks , nice code

That's me T_T

I think this one should rather be 6 kyu

7 months later, you still didn't solve it ^^

... Anyway, I really enjoyed too this kata, but conversely, I would rate it 1 Dan though ;P

You're joking, right?

When calculating average values you need to make sure at least one of the divisors ist double/float because Integer/Long divisions result in integer/long values.

I would have thought the long would coerce the int . . .

Is the data type wrong?

I might agree if there wasn't a time limit. Still trying to get my solution more efficient, and it's timing out at ~2500ms. When I time my solution locally, I have to use an array of 100 million numbers before I get to that kind of run time. So I know my solution works, just that whatever test case they're throwing at me is bigger than 100 million. And for a beginning programmer such as myself, knowing all the optimization tricks is not a reasonable expectation. So I think this is good at 6kyu.

just google java 8 streams

using toString() method for System.out.println() is bad practice because toString method is automatically invoced by println

this kata ist way too overrated... should be kata 8 or kata 7 at most

you are lucky this works in this case because you calculated the average wrong. (Integer / Long division)

shut up giabanga you level 6 peasant
