This was good practice even though it was extremly easy. But it's still a good way to go over fundamentals.

Syntax for classes more than actual OOP. So I would agree that 8kyu is not that far-fetched.

Fork approved, changes made:

• Scrutinized tests

• Added useful assertion messages

• Swapped order of actual and expected

• Added corresponding headers to be compatible with PHPUnit 9.5.2

it's so difficult

please, asking for help is not a kata issue, ask a question instead and format your code correctly: https://docs.codewars.com/training/troubleshooting/#post-discourse

your line num - 1 has no effect. it computes num - 1 and then discards the result, this is why your code never ends, since num never changes. num = num - 1 aka num -= 1 would ensure that num is decremented

Groovy Translation which includes a slightly better description. I will do a Java translation when this one gets approved.

I can say, this task is about - who can make solution shorter.

Great kata! Simple, but informative

A great exercise, it's best to get practice at writing the whole thing instead of it being given to you.

Excellent practice for 8kyu

A simple little 8kyu, as they should be.

My friend will be fired the moment he gets back from the United States. Re-writing would be easier.

A perfect 8kyu question.
