Yesterday, I mentioned that there was an issue with random tests, and I couldn't express the error accurately at the time. However I am now sure that it is an Overflow Error due to the large matrixes which causes different results for each primitive type. There needs to be a limitation on this!!!!

The issue was related to the returned double variable from .pow() method Thanks for your kindness

I've marked your last comment as spoiler. I think Math.pow uses doubles, and there might be some truncation errors or something.

your solution timing out is not a kata issue

i'm pretty sure my code works since i'm passing all the other tests but for some ridiculous reason, i cant get through the random test. i'm willing to risk not getting any points so i'm going to open the solutions and test them now

What is the problem?!?!?!

Java random tests have problem!!!

Oh man! I just spent three hours staring at my code trying to figure out what the heck i did wrong. At this point I'm convinced it just doesn't work

you are mistakenly training the C version, not the C++ one

In the C++ Kata, When i copy the function in my editor the part "const int matrix[size][size]" makes gcc to throw the following errors:
"a parameter is not allowed" and "use of parameter outside function body before ] toke"
I'm uncertain how to make this function header work? And how would you pass a matrix in a real C++ application?

(Python) This and similar should not work

while solving this kata, I got frustrated that I didn't even realize I forgot to multiply by the cells of first row🤦‍♂️

Would you show me your code?

Idk how to see it

I tried to solve this problems not by recursion but with gaussian. The determinant I found for the matrix of 5x5 seems to be correct, but the test is showing me a strange "expected false to be true". Since the determinant is a number I can't figure out what is wrong here.
The kata simple said you should return the determinant not the way you should figure it out or am I wrong?

Might try to solve it again by using recursion but still confused why my solution is not accepted.
