@woody68,

I just got bored with all the duplicate "rotate a matrix 90 degrees" katas so I made this one to rotate on 45 degrees too. I'm not sure how else to show it other than the examples in the description, could you be more specific about what isn't clear?

@Blind4Basics,

Nice!

@Victor Tsui,

Your example list has 4 elements.

Description:

You are given an odd-length array of integers ...

@developmentline,

I can't remember the exact number (500? 1000?) but it may be too late to modify the kata since so many people have already solved it. You can have a bigger influence on katas that are still in beta or newly approved.

@developmentline,

The problem seems to be that the tests don't match the description. Thanks for the duplicate comment though.

@meggangreen,

Thanks for the comment!

@lechevalier,

In fact, 22 people try to complete this kata, only 9 succeeded

My mistake, thanks for pointing out the typo! Unfortunately, it makes my point even stronger.

you should ask why there are so few completions.

Laziness? Finding a function in the Python standard library is easy, even you managed to do it.

Anyway, you should expect this kata to be validated sooner as it only needs one more completion to proceed.

I don't mind if this kata doesn't get approved, it was just a quick attempt to share something I learned with others.

Thanks for your time!

@lechevalier,

Your comment doesn't make much sense since this kata has only had 22 (oops!) 9 people finish it in a year. Who exactly are you expecting to come along and find it "sufficient" (at the bottom of the Beta kata list)? All you've done is push it even farther down haha

@lechevalier,

I have added your example to the description.

Thanks for the downvote!

@Blind4Basics,

It took me almost 1 hour before I found what I needed.

My goal with this kata was to try and help people learn something new (which it seems like you did!) but I never intended for it to take that long to solve. My katas are far from perfect but I just thought it was something I hadn't seen used in a kata before so I tried to contribute back to Codewars.

What would you think about to simply add a link toward the unicode python documentation?

That's a great idea, I'll add that link to the description now! Hopefully that will help people learn something new and be able to solve this kata in a reasonable amount of time.

Thanks for the suggestion!

@Voile,

The amusing part is how much trouble you seem to have had with such a simple kata.

@Voile,

Unicode characters are involved

The kata is called "Unicode Math" and has two other mentions of "unicode" in the description.

... characters should also be accepted and converted, not just digits

There was a specific reason for me not to use that word, feel free to enlighten yourself by reading the other comments.

Thanks for another well thought out comment!

@mentalplex,

Thanks for the insight.
