No, you were not, and that's unnecessarily strong language. If you must reflect with self-deprecation, let's say you were a no0b, just like any other beginner. And if as a beginner you passed the kata, great. And if as a beginner, you learned from others' code how to improve, GREAT, you got better. On principle I have upvoted your original comment, and welcome others to do the same to rectify this travesty of punishing what appears to me to be a beginner for asking a fair question.

Damm i was a bitch

so if it's equal to true return true but if it's false return false?
sound stupid innit?

hehe verbose

This is a correct answer, but overly verbose since it is pointless to return true or false on a condition that already returns true or false.

when powerOf4("4") your function return true;
