I totally redid my entire code, but ran into the same problem (different random test though).

=========================
Expected is <System.Collections.Generic.List1[System.Int32]> with 0 elements, actual is <System.Collections.Generic.List1[System.Int32]> with 142 elements
Values differ at index [0]
Extra: < 9997, 79, 9947... >

I printed out the input and ran through the code manually and the return code should be good. It seems like the assert doesn't have the right (any) values in it.

Ah ha. Yep. That helps. Thanks.

The easiest way to check the input is to print it at the top of your function. See if this works.

KenKamau,

I am having some issues int he random tests, getting them to pass. All the crazy tests that I come up with pass, as do the "stock" tests. The random ones though, I get an error.
I was hoping to get a list of the string input, so I can test review my code, or possibly see if there is a mistake in the expected result.

In C#, the random tests are failing with this message:
1838 but was 1842. Strings differ at index 83.
Expected: "...eiopxtkrlzncdzsnlmlpizwldceumjqxyoacegavmuysvsaotmphnrmukt..."

Obviously, I can tell you exactly what random test it is. Can you take a look at that one and confirm it is good? If so, can you send me the input?

Thank you so much!

I am working in C# and all the listed testcases pass, but one of the random ones fails with this message:

Expected is <System.Collections.Generic.List1[System.Int32]> with 0 elements, actual is <System.Collections.Generic.List1[System.Int32]> with 114 elements
Values differ at index [0]
Extra: < 9888, 14, 9719... >

Other similar posts seem to point at some data needing to be corrected in the test cases?

Otherwise I don't quite know what is happening. I have tried to mess up the known test cases to mimic this error and the only thing that does it is if I blank out the expected return data.

Thanks!

As I get deeper and deeper into Katas, I am realizing how hard it is to code in Codewars.

Finding values of variables as code is executing or when finished would be awesome.

And yes, I know I could do all the coding over in a different environment, but that kind defeats the purpose a bit. Right?

Also, this has nothing to do with this particular test, just something I am starting to notice.
