it ensures that the given input is a perfect square. a number with decimals will not return true using that if statement.

why would you even do 626?
question has asked the next perfect square means 676.
I don't know what are you trying to ask or may be I am dumb :<

I think the suggestion about casing is a good one; if I understand you correctly, that would mean fixing the name if it's not uppercased (e.g. hello('george') would result in "Hello, George"

I retrained after reading your comment and I couldn't find what you were referring to.

List generation takes lots of time. Submitting pass takes 9 seconds, while submitting an actual solution takes the same 9 sec. Also, it's not critical.

I have seen duplicates like this (Can't find it but it's name was greet function). You can make a little difference to casing.

Its just well hidden...
I mean... I am sorry!

Not recursive; just saying ;)

There is a reason why this is a 8kyu.

Thanks!!

What the heck that is amazing.

Hi. At the end of the kata you have an example but it is not very clear... the key is not repeat or skip notes to get the required distances pattern. For example from D to E we can get a half tone in to ways 'D' -> 'Eb' or 'D' -> 'D#' the valid one for the kata is the first.
