What do you mean, DoimanII ?

That's great, thanks. I have managed to find about 20+ simple ones, so I can't say there aren't any.

btw, there is already a basic "learn JS" series. Your friends might be interested in that.

Good points, thanks for taking the time to comment :)

Worth pointing out - maybe this can be addressed on the site somehow.

at some point there were discussions about providing such a kind of task/series, yes. Not sure that will ever happen (creating this kind of series is currently impossible if that needs to actually create kata, because, well, community driven thing. Those kata would have to totally bypass the beta process to get approved.).

[...] this kata [...]

It's not one, it's the whole list you should look at ;)

I fear you just need to enlarge your definition of "duplicate". They (almost) all involve the very same logic. Changing the output type doesn't change the problem. Moreover, the kind of task is rather disreguarded, nowadays. Too much simple, far too close to too many kata (that part is community driven, and that is the current state of mind of the users solving beta).

I understand that total beginners can find white kata too hard already. Thing is, CW isn't a teaching website. Any user can definitely learn a lot here, but one would need a minimal knowledge to start with, and that knowledge isn't taught on CW, since a kata is basically "dig into your toolbox to solve that stuff".

Cheers

I have had several friends give up on the site after looking at it for a day and not finding enough simple problems.

Again, this Kata is a 7 kyu and involves some interesting use of arrays and possibly loops.

Perhaps, I need to create simple katas that don't mention FizzBuzz or multiples of 3 and 5 - otherwise the kata's look repetitive.

Thanks for the feedback.

second batch (yeah, the search engine is totally suboptimal...)

These are not duplicates.

The first one involves arrays. The second one string replacements with case sensitivity.
Some people just need more practise around if statements and general structure of functions.
Far too advanced for a complete beginner.

I appreciate your point about the tests not being good enough though. I wasn't sure if it was going to be published in the first place, so I made do with minimal tests.

Hi, thank you for the feedback.
This was my first Kata.

I have been advising some friends to practise on CodeWars but they find the Kata's too advanced for a complete beginner.
Not enough simple Kata's for them to practise and get a hang on things before they come across arrays, regex and other challenges.
So I tried to create a very simple one.

Can you give me the link to the Kata which this is a duplicate of?

Thanks

unpublished (I suggest you don't republish it, because it will get retired anyway, but you'll lose a bit more honor because of the votes on the kata)

cheers

Hi,

Duplicate of way too many kata and no random tests. If you're interested at authoring, you should read the documentation before you do another attempt.

cheers

Woooow! Who do you do this>?!
