the input should be boolean(false, true), "lol" is not a boolean.

what about bool("lol") ... it will return "No"

No problem. Glad you enjoy the Kata :)

I see, it also totally makes sense, since it is a "minimum requirement" that should be checked ...

After your update of the kata and after realizing that myself right after, I changed my restricted charset to .* instead and directly got all green,

Thank you also for explaining that clearly as well.
Have a nice day!

so i think the last two chars of the password to test against shall be the "' before the very last quote ?!

That's correct. The password could contains a quote

so a char included in the testcase password is outside of the range of the input values

Yes, but it doesn't matter. Your regex should validate whether a certain charClass exist, along with their minimum amount. The rest of the password can be anything.

Think of it like a common password requirement. They may require your password to contains digits and uppercase letters. But that doesn't mean your password should only contain digits and uppercase letters.

Edit:
I tried it, now it seems to work fine, nice!
For me, all passed very fast as well ... before you fixed it, it took the full 12s and crashed, now its done in like 1-2 seconds including network.

Whatever the issue was and whatever you changed, it did improve the quality of the kata greatly!
Good job!

I just re-checked the random test and you're right, they almost always overlap. Turned out there was a bug in the charClass generator.

The bug has been fixed, now they should never overlap. Thanks for catching that!

what is this magic? :D

XD
I'd rather slap myself in the face 3 hours before writing that "thing" 30 minutes!

for sure BEST PRACTICE!
Readability 100% :D

hahahah :D
You saved my day from depression with that one ... :D
