o rite, thanks!

Hi, I'm someone, nice to meet you :P

fixed (by someone)

can't seem to get in the editor from my phone, but i can confirm the sample tests have now been corrected.

Fixed?

I think I've just understood your problem: you misread the log. The log tells you Expected <Correct answer> but got <Your answer>, it doesn't give the input (you would need to print it. We don't know which language you're using. It seems in C logs are incorrect and reverse expected and actual.

Error messages in C are backwards.

hi, thanks for the comment. your code does not work, but there is a small problem with the kata (error message is backwards) so you are producing the value 81, which should be 9

So, same answer...

LC translation

I hope you're not generating squares to be squared then :P

I know, and you're right. I opened the translation page before yours was published and didn't check Discourse page when I published mine.

I'm confident with this translation, expected is generated along with the input, independently from reference solution. A blind approval should not harm ;)

( that's why I mention "this translation changes the description" when a translation of mine does that )

I don't know COBOL. Can I approve in the blind?

I expected that, since I first published it before approving Haskell's translation; updating the description in my fork to newest version didn't work. There is a fork (just removed a space, and it should be approvable...): https://www.codewars.com/kumite/62566ff5db61150063617fba?sel=6256c2b03ee51a0046469bf9
