Despite passing the tests I get a 'Cannot invoke "String.isEmpty()" because "str" is null' error when I attempt. I didn't have a String named str but I made an empty one, same thing. Can't see the tests throwing the error so I'm not sure what I can do to find what isn't working.
Training in java 17 if that makes a difference.

I can see the love for camel over dot notation. I'll take either over this_weirdness anyday!

Lol, me too. In case I need to translate it to C later.

not bad

So smart!!! I love it ❤️❤️❤️

OVERENGINEERING a bit

Interesting python function

My bad, its only my third day out here. thank you though!

on Codewars:

• the tests expect you to return a value, and do not care about what you log to the console
• do not raise issues to ask for help, ask questions instead

My solutions is producing "Example Response" with a type of string. However, I'm receiving an error: expected undefined to equal 'Example Response'. Any Idea why this might be? Please let me know, and I can go into further detail.

i have no idea how i sometimes manage to come up with a decent solution and execute it so terribly it would give any semi-skilled programmer an aneurysm

MorseMap for local tests

val MorseCode = mapOf<String, String>(
        ".-" to "A",
        "-..." to "B",
        "-.-." to "C",
        "-.." to "D",
        "." to "E",
        "..-." to "F",
        "--." to "G",
        "...." to "H",
        ".." to "I",
        ".---" to "J",
        "-.-" to "K",
        ".-.." to "L",
        "--" to "M",
        "-." to "N",
        "---" to "O",
        ".--." to "P",
        "--.-" to "Q",
        ".-." to "R",
        "..." to "S",
        "-" to "T",
        "..-" to "U",
        "...-" to "V",
        ".--" to "W",
        "-..-" to "X",
        "-.--" to "Y",
        "--.." to "Z"
    )
    ```

that's a method not a function

I didn`t even know about count method and used loops, lol. Thanks for the best solution!
