Neat kata. I don't even know where to start Q_Q

I glanced at the solutions and saw a top answer used

if (array[0].length == 0) { return new int[0]; }

which is a little simpler than what I tried

NOTE 2: The 0x0 (empty matrix) is represented as en empty array inside an array [[]].

Update: I figured something out but it seems kind of clumsy. idk if this is what the author had in mind...

if (array.length == 1 && array[0].length == 0) {
return new int[0];
}

My java solution handles all of the tests, except for the empty array test. When array = { {} } it complains about indices. Any advice for how to determine if the array is empty like this?

Narrowly passed ;) Big numbers sure are cool!

I am so close to completing it #(E#*(@*WUR(*UQ)_!PO My output looks like this and it's the worst

Cool kata.

I can't believe I didn't think of that lol. Just print it to standard out at the top of the method. Thanks again

I will look at this. Thanks!

Hello. I am very close to completing this kata. But with the Random tests my output is always 1 less than expected! For example,

RandomTests
expected:<132> but was:<131>

Is there a way that I can view the input string that resulted in a failing test?

Curse these random tests I am so close to passing >:(

Wow!

Cool solution. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that it would be faster to compute the case fac = 2 separately, and then only cycle through odd #s
