    I missed to speak about Person::greet. No more sentences, just code:

    fn greet(&self) -> String {
        let start = "Hello, my name is ";
        if self.last_name.len() > 0 {
            format!("{}{} {}", start, self.first_name, self.last_name)
        } else {
            format!("{}{}", start, self.first_name)
        }
    }
    

    Full code: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=6f5a936cd0482aceb70bb839fceb433c

    EDIT: I would have optimized by implementing std::fmt::Display.

    This is a macro, not a function, so you just remade my code as a function.

    I just applied most of my suggestions to made them more clear. I also missed detail about using standard traits. It offers you a lot of advantage thank to generic implementation, you benefit from other traits that have generic implemention over implemented traits.

    For example by implementing std::default:Default, you are able to create default std::option::Option.

    Such std::convert::TryFrom would be better than std::str::FromStr !

    Tell me how to fix the macro if you need to correct me.

    If this is just a "macro-to-function" transformation, you will surely be able to do.

    Next time when displaying code in markdown do this:

    Sorry, long time I haven't post on Codewars. I was just hoping auto-detection due to context and content (just as most services do)

    Now tell me why you used &str

    &str are slices (looks like a "partial" burrow over piece of data). They avoid memory duplication & ownership. It also lets you abstract over &'static str and String burrows.

    Now tell me when you used if

    As it was specified: two-way alternatives. To be honest, you should be able to directly pattern match over the array names.


    Here we go:

    macro_rules! createPerson {
        ($name: expr) => {
            {
                let names = $name
                    .split(' ')
                    .collect::<Vec<&str>>();
                
                let (first_name, last_name) = match &names[..] {
                    &[first]       => (first, ""),
                    &[first, last] => (first, last),
                    _              => panic!("Entered wrong amount of words"),
                };
                Person::new(first_name.to_string(), last_name.to_string())
            }
        };
        ($fname: expr, $lname: expr) => {
            Person::new($fname, $lname)
        }
    }

    1. In createPerson avoid creating a "default" instance that NEVER be used.
    2. May be add a slice-based (&str) constructor
    3. if are expressions, use it :)
    4. if may alternate on constructor parameters that each calling constructor
    5. std::str::FromStr sounds better
    impl FromStr for Person {
        type Err = String;
        
        fn from_str(s: &str) -> Result<Self, Self::Err> {
            let names = s
                    .split(' ')
                    .collect::<Vec<&str>>();
            
            let (first_name, last_name) = match names.len() {
                1 => (names[0], ""),
                2 => (names[0], names[1]),
                _ => Err("Invalid word count".to_string())?
            };
            Ok(Self::new(first_name.to_string(), last_name.to_string()))
        }
    }

    This kata like many others by @jhoffner has no sample tests but instead encourages you to write your own tests.
    As always, your solution will be tested once you click 'Attempt'.

    It shows right for me maybe hard to spot else i missed something?

    I am seeing this one:

    expect(isSquare(x*x), equals(zs1(x*x)));
    

    The call to the solution function is now wrapped inside an equals()

  • Custom User Avatar

    Hm. Did you forget to save your changes? The translation is still the same.

  • Custom User Avatar

    Oh looks true that, thanks. Fixed that up.

    The random test is bogus:

    test('should work for random numbers', () {
      var r = new Math.Random();
      new List.generate(100,(i) => i).forEach((n) {
        var x = r.nextInt(65520);
        expect(isSquare(x*x), zs1(x*x));
      });
    });
    

    That's just a replication of the previous test, since x*x should return true. You want to use assertEquals or whatever its called in Dart:

    test('should work for random numbers', () {
      var r = new Math.Random();
      new List.generate(100,(i) => i).forEach((n) {
        var x = r.nextInt(65520);
        assertEquals(isSquare(x), zs1(x));
      });
    });

    Shows as error but actually it should just be a failed test?

    To address the edit problem mentioned by @bkaes, I would suggest to allow forks of those katas, if a critical amount of complaints about the description sum up. Then by time people should be able to give their vote on the kata (fork or original) they like best. If one is clearly preffered by most people (like 70% to 30%), it should be displayed as standard description for the kata.
    (I miss something like that on Wikipedia!)

    Done. Thanks for the feedback!

    Requests:

    • Dart programming language (would be easy to do)

    Suggestions:

    • Have a way to challenge solutions, then it would be a real war. Sometimes solutions dont work but pass the tests
    • A nice 'follow me on codewars' style button (just for fun)

    (Javascript) Solution passed, but tests failed for unknown error... That was a bit annoying
