it seems he is working for Google and have no time to answer

Yeah, I would like to see that!!!

I leave my mistakes in so I can go back later and see my thinking and how I was wrong.

I love how simple the best solution always is when mine has like 20 lines of code :)

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm very new and sometimes I get hung up on some pretty basic things, it's nice when someone with more experiance can help me avoid a pitfall. :)

That happens when you use global vars. They keep their value between tests.

My code runs through all the basic test cases correctly in VS code but when I Switch to Code Wars I only pass the first test case then it throws out a bunch of weird values. Anyone run into anything similar???

WHY???

Holy Moly

best solution ever

I love this solution so much :) :)

This is my first ever question and I was using "Print" instead of "Return" and failing all of my test cases. It makes me sad that I missed out on points because of this little SNAFU. :)
