    Worth 100 points

    means here exacty equals to 100 points...

    The question was good, but some questions like these were open to any interpretation: do we have to sum the points of each letter? Should the sum be >= 100 or just =100?

    Should mention that the input is always in lowercase

    duplicate should be sent back to draft

    new test framework should be used

    I agree with Blind4Basics. Add random tests and make sure to test the user for uppercase and non alphanumeric characters.

    My code is passing all the tests but the third test in Not dollar words (the very last one). Is there a way to know what that test case (word) is in order to make debugging easier? Thanks.

    would be still déjà vu, I guess, but at least one would have to connect the neurons to choose the way to handle the whole thing the shortest way. Let's see what others will think about that.

    Ok got it, I'm pretty new to the site so don't have a ton of context for what would be useful. Do you think adding upper case and digits would make this worthwhile, or would it still be too much 'deja vu'?

    suggestion? -> 'don't create too much easy katas" ;)

    We already have a LOT of them, so unless you have a brilliant new idea or a context/story around that really worthes it, it effectively will sound like "déjà vu".

    cheers.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    • By too much deja vu, do you mean this is too similar to other kata? Do you have a suggestion for what to do?
    • I will add random tests.
    • I left it at lower case letters too make it easier to do and explain. Certainly adding upper case and digits would make it more challenging!

    • too much "déjà vu"
    • would need random tests
    • why the limitation to lowercase letters? upper and digits would do too! (not that it would change a lot of things, but... At least a bit more of a challenge)
