The description just assumes everyone knows what latitude/longitude is, which is very unacceptable.

The handling of boundaries are missing from the description:

• for 0 degrees it's expected to be N and E but it's not mentioned at all
• it's also not specified and tested for lat/lon at exactly 90 and 180 degrees

No no, I was a little bit lasy. I used my solution-method as test-calculation-method for random tests. I created a second method to exclude the doubled string-convertion. But I forgot to relink the helpermethod in my test-method to the test-helper-method... So I called my own solution in the tests and, I don't know why, evry test successed ^^

So thanks for your Tests and your comments. So I found my little mistakes ;)

oh, I don't know Java well, so I thought I had to write a helper function... ?

Thnx for the Review... Again a Copy&Paste failure. I fixed it.

./src/test/java/SexagesimalDegreeTest.java:21: error: cannot find symbol
    result.append(SexagesimalDegree.createFromFloat(lat));
                                   ^
  symbol:   method createFromFloat(double)
  location: class SexagesimalDegree
./src/test/java/SexagesimalDegreeTest.java:23: error: cannot find symbol
    result.append(SexagesimalDegree.createFromFloat(lon));
                                   ^
  symbol:   method createFromFloat(double)
  location: class SexagesimalDegree
2 errors

okay, hadn't noticed true / false were seperate...

he just means that every single random test currently expects an exception (I guess he didn't see the first batch of them)

but that doesn't change the task. Those are too close to yours. Please read this: https://github.com/codewars/codewars.com/wiki/Tutorial%3A-Create-Your-First-Kata

(edit: btw, I didn't find it, but I already implemented the same task (I mean exactly) in JS some time ago. Might be better to translate that one to python than to keep a duplicate in the database)

Can you explain what you mean?

The first Kata only converts the algebraic sign in an direction-alpha.
The second Kata convert the String in DMS. Thats an other format.

Hi,

Unfortunately, it's a duplicate of other katas:

• https://www.codewars.com/kata/lat-slash-long-parser/ruby
• https://www.codewars.com/kata/5a72fd224a6b3463b00000a0
• (probably some others too)

Meaning you should unpublish yours.

cheers

random tests should also contain valid inputs

fixed

There was a miss-linked helper function. I fix the problem.
