Collections are a way for you to organize kata so that you can create your own training routines. Every collection you create is public and automatically sharable with other warriors. After you have added a few kata to a collection you and others can train on the kata contained within the collection.

Are you trolling? This is a one line function which is 8 characters long. We have no control over the function name/ file name. Explaining the programming language/ framework, or in this example, plain old math, is considered a bad practice.
You may argue that because 'it is helpful to translate the meaning of some obscure argument or return value into something that’s readable.' Or that 'when [the code] is part of the standard library, or incode that you cannot alter, then a helpful clarifying comment can be useful.'
But to explain math to a future programmer in the comments would be considered harmful noise. This is because important comments will just be ignored after a while.
The adage: 'Don’t Use a Comment When You Can Use a Function or a Variable' is applicable here. I convert this block to english like so: 'To sum the row of odd numbers, I cube the row index'. I cannot see any value in adding a comment here.
Read clean code. It recommends the exact opposite.
Thank you for this. I recommend naming the variables explicitly next time. For example naming
n
what ever that was (index_of_winner
?) andwe
(weights
?). Such short names are advised against in books such as clean code because it unnecessarily obfuscates the codes meaningThis comment is hidden because it contains spoiler information about the solution

Hey.
We expect 0 in this case because that was the challenge set by @renjia93 for this kumite. Namely
