You do understand the kata got retired? You can always make a new one. Perhaps you should ask on Discord for assistance before publishing trivial kata's.

Ye, now it's probably acceptable, maybe you should add examples in the description too :)

Sorry, I made some mistakes.

• Example tests now fixed (hadn't understood the interface correctly).
• 4 fixed examples added
• The concept exists in several previous kata, but always requiring understanding of classes, which are not in my students' syllabus.
• JS was added by the 'Insert example' button, I hadn't intended it. Now deleted.

Acceptable?

kata got retired due to low user satisfaction

For Python:

• The sample tests are apparentely broken;
• Maybe at least make several fixed examples, instead of just one?
• Probably the concept of kata has already been in the previous katas in CW, but I'm not sure

For JS:

• No sample tests at all
• It seems that for JS you need to find two biggest elements of the array? Why not the description of the actual kata? =/
• No random tests

This solution is not using PEP8, isn`t it?

No, it doesn't, the reason is it returns either way, so only the first letter is checked.

Duplicate issue

Most Pythonic solution. Simple, clean, clear, obvious.

This is my first attempt at writing a Kata!

Q1. How do I separate out the SQL-specific details into the SQL box, and insert Python specific details (ie return a list of dictionaries).

Disagree - surely 8byu are about core (basic) functionality? Those things are important, sure, but not for beginners. I send students here who have only been doing Python a few weeks. The sign-up problem is 'someone forgot the return keyword'. My guys can do that. They can (just about) do this with if / returns. But they shouldn't be trying to handle intentionally broken inputs at this early stage.

This gives a false positive if name has R or r ANYWHERE in it. Question says only first letter should be checked.

The line
name.lower()
does nothing

0 % 0 evaluates to 0, so the first condition is unnecessary.
