It's been long. Good to know that you are still alive 😂

For me is the same, I have a quadratic solution but so far I'm not being able to find a linear one with just one loop. I will have to struggle more with my brain :)

omase o

Oga, you too dey reason far. 😂.
Boss

Too many work for JIT :(

I didn't know you are this good with recursion. I got the first if() checks you used, but I got confused on reaching recursion

You probably have a quadratic time solution !
You can solve this only looping through it once and have it be linear time.

About two months ago, I had no idea how to code. I cannot believe that I solved this today. Excellent kata!

how do you even get it to work for this such big numbers. my code only works for smaller numbers. perhaps i will really need a spoiler on that. i will be glad if you can put me through.

you're right, guess I need to improve my reading skills lol

In kata description it is written:

[(a, b), ...] or [[a, b], ...] or {{a, b}, ...} or ... will be sorted in increasing order of the "a".

So you need to sort your returned array according to first element, yes.

After I've solved it, I can't believe I hate math even more, whoa...

n = 1000003: expected [ [ 550320, 908566 ],
[ 908566, 550320 ],
[ 559756, 893250 ],
[ 893250, 559756 ] ] to deeply equal [ [ 550320, 908566 ],
[ 559756, 893250 ],
[ 893250, 559756 ],
[ 908566, 550320 ] ]
Just have this issue where I have to sort result even tho it's technicaly right but order is wrong?

Yeah, I guess so.

The timeout is caused by your code being too slow, not a kata issue. Also, there are more tests, your code times out with some test and it halts the execution of further ones.
