actually very informative, thank you

and your code with a literal import statement within function is efficient?

what
how is sample test working fine then

looks good to me

ah well thank you for your comment!

but hope to see more such katas in the future

ah well i had many ideas but sadly because of the 12sec timeout on the python coderunner it may get a little out of time.

i can understand it now but now i think that the solution isnt good enough UwU

but wouldnt it be a little faster than a for loop?

except for 2nd, everything else is done i think

i didnt quite understand the second point, what exactly are the 3rd and 4th parameters?

maybe i add that you need to trim any escape sequence

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

check again i added someting in the description,
if its ok then resolve it whenever you like ;-)

didnt i specify the 1024 limit smh
