Chill bro, no need to be harsh.

You do know how to answer a question without being a dick, don't you?

Do you know what odd numbers are, don't you? The dashes separate them:

454793
   79
    93
4547-9-3    

7 and 9 and 9 and 3 are the only pairs of odd numbers next to each other there.

"...Write a function insert_dash(num) / insertDash(num) / InsertDash(int num) that will insert dashes ('-') between each two odd numbers in num. For example: if num is 454793 the output should be 4547-9-3. Don't count zero as an odd number..."

Why not 45-4793? Or 45-47-9-3? etc

Nice

Ta.

Your scores are not correct. I think I made the same mistake in my first solution; just pay more attention.

On the random tests, the very last test fails consistently so am looking for some help/pointers.
Consider this random test string:

"mntznaesr swairiyjmk rtdabu ujbdwexulp otvk trtuzgkuat nuhpcwyg lfeefwxab clwjbwr iikxtazs dxlchvwfr vxotlonry dmjwt"

according to the test then 'trtuzgkuat' (score=155) is the max word despite the fact that 'vxotlonry' (156) is the max word.

Similarly with the following word string:

"pkfever cqehicl dfkywqa rkipisr zssov rtbkzh xppehierj spdkzta usrkx txdmzsw kczatzvk umvmj yltrncbou oliradka qjdi ywxi uaxcrhyli"

the test states that 'yltrncbou' (121) is the max word when 'txdmzsw' (122) has the max value.

So, anyone else had this problem? Or got any tips/pointers as to the resolution.

Thanks!

def duplicate_encode(word):
    print(word)

That.

Sorry? "print the input to the console" ?

Just print the input to the console

Hi,
I can run the Sample tests fine and all four pass but when I try the "Attempt" tests then all but the last test passes, and gives me an error:

'))(()())())' should equal '()(((())())'

Is there a way to see what the actual test case is? This is only my 2nd day on Codewars so am still getting settled in.
I can then debug my code as needed.

Thanks!

Gary
