It's because this kata is using postgresql, and has sqlite disabled. I'd rather this kata be categorized as PostgreSQL then, to be honest, this threw me off too.

Mostly the same, but reversed the if statement returns

ditto~

Ditto

This would also work, if I didnt have access to min() and max() lol. Every other language will require the max from the sorted to be lst[len(lst)-1]

unless its coding in python...? please state why. This is more understandable for other, especially more lower-level / typed languages... but why?

It's all about the segmentation of whats going on in each line... imo. Many of these answers either dont state clear variables, or theyre long, messy, or even use imports
(imo, try to not use imports on codewars, especially for python. Python is so versatile that I really havent had to yet. and hope i still wont have to.)

In my own projects, I will do this. Codewars though, I just like making an effort to try putting everything in 1 line of code. especially with python, theres been many instances of this lol.

Ditto. Im surprised that adding the space separator in the split function actually makes it work :p

Mine is the same, minus the much better named variables like here lol.

Huh. the in statement can find characters within a string? interesing...

Ditto. Its a little lengthy, but its elegant imo.
