it's not supposed to be easy

maybe I'm not ready for 2kyu kata; haft a day trying to fix my code but it still not work. Good luck to those who want to try this. :/

10 November 2024

170 lines of code. Python. My time is 2142.13ms

This one is not hard, it took me only 8 hours.

Nice Kata! However, Java tests (random tests) dont really test the solution properly, as there are 99,9% chance that the time chunk will end with seconds. This way, u can just use "...and second(s)", as there are almost never a test ending with days/hours (which needs to be solved through "...days and 3 hours").
I suggest adding some manually writen tests exactly for those cases, otherwise not fully-solved Katas are getting through.

Nice one indeed, i actualy did the smae as you.

expected x to equal y

means that the tests expected y but your code returned x. you are missing a comma after 182 days. please do not raise issues so lightly in the future, ask questions instead.

Error in browser
Expected : 182 days 1 hour, 44 minutes and 40 seconds
to equal : 182 days, 1 hour, 44 minutes and 40 seconds
But in my vscode i get 182 days 1 hour, 44 minutes and 40 seconds
How can this be?

wow

his ahh is not 4q

5q maybe?

The tests are fine, your function's name is formatDuration instead of format_duration. Rename it so the tests find it.

Looks like there is a problem in python tests

it starts with:

import codewars_test as test
from solution import format_duration

but when I run I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/workspace/default/tests.py", line 2, in
from solution import format_duration
ImportError: cannot import name 'format_duration' from 'solution' (/workspace/default/solution.py)

I wish this used oxford comma :<

This one in shell was great. Techniques were applied like never before.

Otherwise, the duration is expressed as a combination of years, days, hours, minutes and seconds.

There are no months there. Not a kata issue.
