😳

Here you sort ALL the 50 millions element and after you had to compare the digit (not linear for sur).

But all you have to do is to look element by element and find the first one who is not asc (linear).

Sorry for my english

damn, did the same thing but replaced -1 with len(arr) -1, yours is much simpler lol

Wow.. I made mine way more complicated

This is an excelent use of String Slicing in Python

what is the use of underscore?

i didn't know that range function return a list . nice

@fran496: no, but they're iterable objects that support indices, just like lists - except every element in a string is a single character. This means most of the syntax elements that can be used on lists can be used on strings as well.

_{^{except for mutating elements, you can do that with lists but not with strings}}

the kata specifies you don't have to deal with those

( JS )

No items method is required ( now. it may have been back then ).

but it requires the operators not to change. how does this still work without evaluating the postion and use of the operator

this has got to be in the top 5 worst kata of all time

Efficiently done!

thanks, elegant !
