Great kata to learn some new facts about math as well, compliments.

That last return statement was really clever!

It says "2^5" ?!?

Hi, in your example and your test cases you have asserted that 32 is the square of 5, which is incorrect. It should be 25.

Approved

Thanks :)

Okay. I got the test done.
Somehow the test sample just give me the false answer. All good!!

Oh. Then i guess it's bug in my test then

I don't see that test, I see this one tho:

test.assert_equals(closest_power(30), 32, "Should work for powers greater than 2")

In the test sample of python. The nearest power of 30 is 25.
Isn't that suppose to be 27 or something else. It just make me confuse

There's a description, don't you know?

It's this test find the nearest perfect power of two or something
