Thanks for this kata.
Python, possibly other languages: tests miss sanity checks on values returned by user solution and crash badly when an unexpected value (not a pattern, or not a valid pattern) is returned.
Error messages in final tests seem to be incorrect (actual and expected is switched?):
True. Should be resolved now
Your RegEx has the length 1482. It shoud be not longer than 30.whileYour RegEx should be not longer than 40 characters=> ? (maybe make it clear that you're talking about the length of the string because usually, code golf length is checked on the length of the code itself)I removed the VALID and NOT_VALID check from the actual tests. Because the up_to_100 section covers it.
Do you think leaving room for a playground is good? My regex is 19 characters long. Probably it could be stripped to 17. Whats your oppinion about the number 40?
yes, keep some margin about the length. reducing it to something like 20-25 would be more a problem than a feature, imo. Tho, your length check seems to be currently not working: https://www.codewars.com/kata/reviews/5c2cf17c0bf7e200014adacb/groups/5c2dae5b024626000139e2d2
rebuild the codegolf check
not sure this one is really interesting... :/
that would be the simpler/usual way to solve it.
A little bit cheaty...
What if I make a codegolf with a restriction to lets say 20-30 characters? Than your code fails and you must start to think.:P
well, it's not cheaty at all, imo, since it really accomplish te task. ;)
the restriction could be a good way to enforce the thing, yes. That won't be the same level at all, tho. ;)
I dont like hardcoded things. I like when people think with their brains. I dont want a light task.)
that solution is not remotely simple.
