No, you were not, and that's unnecessarily strong language. If you must reflect with self-deprecation, let's say you were a no0b, just like any other beginner. And if as a beginner you passed the kata, great. And if as a beginner, you learned from others' code how to improve, GREAT, you got better. On principle I have upvoted your original comment, and welcome others to do the same to rectify this travesty of punishing what appears to me to be a beginner for asking a fair question.

Damm i was a bitch

You can take 2 out of brackets.

so if it's equal to true return true but if it's false return false?
sound stupid innit?

this is art..

Do not use valueOf() methods of wrapper types when you don't need an object, use parse instead.

Hey! Awesome Kata. I haven't used Reflection in a while and this was a nice refresher:)
One suggestion. Some test cases that check some error handling would kick it up a notch?

Really cool one! Cheers and keep at it!

tks for explaining so clearly!!

Just beautiful

❤️💛💚💙💜

Hello, great kata so far I just encountered one error with my solution at the random tests. It failed to submit 4 times when using the BigDecimal rounding functionality, Could you specify that you want truncating to 4 decimals.

I got frustatred with this kata for 2 hours. It was worth the work. Thank you very much for writing this as I learned some bits about for to make queries better! I will look more into this. Cheers!

There's always someone with a better solution. Thought about a oneliner with IntStream but this is very elegant. Kudos for you sir!
