in R you want to require "\n" and not "\n" as the line separator if the aim is to create shapes in formatted strings:
cat("aaa\nbbb")
aaa
bbb
cat("aaa\\nbbb")
aaa\nbbb

Read this: https://docs.codewars.com/training/troubleshooting#expected-the-same
Not a kata issue.
FYI, there is a solution visible in the test section. Probably should remove that!
You should probably mention the language you're talking about. If it was Rust, then it was fixed.
the tests for the attempt in c version has issues and needs to be fixed.
I've just tested my solution in C and passed, likely it is your code having unnecessary trailing
\ncharacters at the end of string. Not a kata issue!you do not nul-terminate your string, it is your code that has issues ;-)
lol thanks, totally forgot terminating

I'm struggling with printing single backslash. In my pycharm app it works fine when I put "\" but for some reason it doesn't work in codewars. Can someone explain what is going on? Thank you
Because you're escaping the backslash like that and you should use a line-break instead:
'\n'See the sample test:
thank you - by any chance, do you know why '\n' doesn't lead to automatic next line and instead prints out '\n' in codewars code editor? In my Pycharm when I did '\n' it automatically printed 3*3 #s without '\n' printed.

About your question, you're using
*instead of+. Also, there should be no line separator at the end.This comment has been hidden.
Your solution has a bug and it is not a kata issue.
Please run following line of code in your IDE:
print(f"My solution for n=4 is:\n{generate_shape(4)}")and tell us the output.This comment has been hidden.

Do not print the result, return it instead (read this)
it says it doesnt work but on another compiler it works perfectly for all test cases.
look at it this way:
"it works perfectly for all test cases [that happen to be the paritcular ones] on another compiler"
consider which tests appear here that are missing on this other compiler
"between 1 and 50." but fixedTests() and randomTests() also include zero in c;
Fixed.

Is the Brainfuck interpreter working right? I´m getting "Execution Timed Out" trying the 3 test cases. I tried it on external interpreters and seems to work fine :/
This kata uses the default BF interpreter.
I cannot see your code, but it is very likely that your code was caught in an infinite loop for some specific values.
try to do it without for loop in one line..
I solved this problem in three lines without using line breaks. And that doesn't work.
Sounds like you didn't solve it then x)
You have to return the answer, don't print it.
Use IF ELSE in order to not get an issue from 0 to 50.

dont use
strcat()on uninitialized memory (e.g. that returned bymalloc())compared to hackerrank codewar is harder and codewar dont start with beginner programs
I have found two different solutions for this kata, one with for loops and one involving creating a dictionary that they work perfectly on pycharm but it does not work in here. What to do about it?
C#. Sample tests are broken, they require the answer to be with "\n" symbol, but you can complete kata without this symbol by just making simple loops...
O meu acontecia exatamente a mesma coisa, só que em Python
either it was fixed at some point, or the report was wrong. C# sample tests are fine
Java. The description says "The integer will be a whole number between 1 and 50" but
fixedTests()andrandomTests()also include zero.Fixed.

why add the r''?
idk i thought coz its a new line i should prepend the string with r, would removing it work tho? edit: cheers it works as intended.
This comment has been hidden.
your string is never nul-terminated because the line-ending logic has precedence over the nul-terminating logic in your
if/elseneed to update the pre-populated function name to: generate_shape. The pre-populated name that currently generates is: generateShape
+1
there is a pending issue about that.
Python: solution setup still has camelCased name.
Fixed ~~
Ruby 3.0 should be enabled, see this to learn how to do it
Fixed
Coffeescript && R
Thanks :)
it's 8 kyu i think)
Java : the instruction says : "whole number between 1 and 50", but should says 0 and 50 !
The parameter name is shadowin a built-in in Pytohn.
Python: Int should not be used as param name
Fixed
Python: Function name should be in snake_case
fixed

It seems a problem with your code, check the size.

Because you have a trailing newline that shouldn't be there.

Not a kata issue, the brackets show you where the output is different, your string starts with a new line, use Question instead of Issue label next time and mark your posts as having spoiler content when they do.

It does not generate the correct shape. The result of your function is the same as '+'.repeat(int)

A value that semantically is always positive is better represented as u32 rather than i32.
Raising again. Python:
No this IS an issue, even if the code is working. And this has been acknowledge for long on CW.
No, this is not resolved.

You have to return a string.
Sure, my code however fails to return anything. Instead of generating a 2d array it throws an error.
"don't use numpy" ? x)
I believe it's a problem of installed versions that differ between CW and what you have at your place. Try this:

You are correct. Good job spotting this! I will adjust it.
Hi, I made a C# translation for this Kata, please review and approve.
This has been reviewed and approved. Thanks for the translation!
Thanks for the kata! :) Maybe add some sample tests?
I think You should add to the description typeOf return
Thank you. This has been added.
