Oh, ok. I was trying to use regular expressions to get all whitespace, but it didn't work. I'll fix it!

Well, your num_sym list logic is wrong. It contains the letter s and that's why it fails. Your code isn't shifting it.

print('s' in '\s') # True

Mine keeps saying that S should be K... anybody else have this issue?

Is there an issue with one of the test cases? I'm working in Go, but from what I can see in the test results shouldn't "seb`" be "sebz"? Everything else passes fine.

this is already being handled here

Well, this one is ancient, so it might be the reason

But it actually is very annoying that kata's difficulty has a very weak correlation with its actual level of difficulty

Free points, lol

This line of your oslution is very wrong and causes a very serious bug: int length = sizeof(str) / sizeof(char);. You need to fix it and change to something what actually calculates the length of the input string.

When you fix it, you still have an off-by-one bug to fix, but this will be, hopefully, an easy part.

Your solution has a serious bug which trips ups the tests. Bugs in your solution are not a kata issue.

The missong quotation mark means that your returned string contains somr unprintable trash at the end. I agree that the message is confusing, but your solution still is most probably incorrect.

Too easy to be a 5, this should be 7 at best.

i suggest to delete this kata or the other one as it is a duplicate of https://www.codewars.com/kata/530e15517bc88ac656000716 i only worked on the other kata's solution and it worked for this one too! and i got double the amount of honor
