Random tests needed.

Go translation added :)

Excellent! Hope mention it did make sense ;)

Thank you for the advice, I uploaded a new solution where I first convert the string to a slice of runes!

I'm OK with that. The test cases never deal with non-ASCII. Palindromes are also colloquially words not symbols or sequences. Good point though!

Thanks for pointing that out. Just made a fork that fulfils the test case. Imagine the next progression is condensing it down to something similar to yours. Kudos on the solution by the way. Concise and readable, even to someone new to Golang.

You are absolutely correct! And I admit that didn't even occurred to me until after I submitted my solution. However, for an 8 kyu, I never bothered coming back to write a more careful version, like one that also only iterates over half the characters. But I suppose I could...

Yep ;)

You are right. I should have iterated over the runes intead of the bytes.

As tou wish ;) I thought this way: steifs in Go are UTF-8 => I have to support casee pf non ASCI-strings :)

Totally agree!

Thank you.

Well, I tried, it does works properly, what's the problem? :)

Kata does not involve working with non-ASCI strings.

Ah, sorry :) I think you're right ;)
