Kata

Thank you.

If you want to add your translation you have my permission. JavaScript is the only language I am versed in. I will trust your judgement. I have little time now so please do what you think needs to be done.

Approved. Hope all is good now.

The title's misleading; i.e, it's less about figuring out a mathematical problem and more about implementing an algorithm.

I maybe understand with the asterisked sentence in the notes... but that needs to be further up. Super confusing.

In the Description at the bottom, after the asterisk it states: The first input minus the second input reveals the number of consecutive odd numbers required for the solution. (otherwise all of the odd solutions would deteriorate into one odd number)Also consider this kata is categorized as a puzzle and requires a bit of deduction from the user. Maybe I should edit and bring the info after the asterisk to the top? Buried down there, probably easy to miss.

Yes, put the "notes" above the "examples" and perhaps in a bulleted list. And perhaps also call those notes "the specification" instead.

Okay. Might take me an hour or two. Operating from my phone and not enough sleep.

Okay. revised with the bulleted list. Looks like a good improvement.

I wasn't expecting any reply! Thanks very much. I think this is a good improvement.

Sure thing. It made for a better looking, more concise description. Thank you. Would have replied sooner but im on my phone todsy and its difficult to edit and text here on codewars. Cursor is hyper and jumps around.

Added.

That works great.Thanks. So each time i edit i will need to re-publish? How can i get back to the Editing blocks for this particular kata? im working in a separate browser so i dont lose the edit page for this kata. Saved the address and that works so far, but each time i leave or and try to come back it asks if i want to "keep" the data i have so far. Just worried ill lose the whole kata and time invested. The save button is gone and i only see republish or unpublish.

• The re-publish button does the same thing as the save button (except for now your changes are beign published)

• Publishing auto-saves it, so you won't lose the kata.

Trying to summarise the various steps/states of the editor here:

• if the kata is already published (this means: either in Beta, or fully approved), then yes each time you make an edit in your editor, you will need to click Re-publish button - this saves the edits and makes them available to the users who access your kata.

• If you Unpublish, then the Beta goes back to Draft mode: the main reason for doing this is to "hide" your kata from downvotes if it has lots of issues. Basically, if you publish to Beta and nothing works correctly, description is bad, it's a duplicate etc etc then you will probably find that your kata gets downvoted, which in turn will make it almost impossible to reach the satisfaction % to get approval. Therefore, if you get a friendly reviewer who suggests Unpublish in order to make major changes to the kata, it can be a good idea to Unpublish and keep working on it. On the other hand, if it's just a typo or you're missing 1-2 test cases, then you can just "edit + Republish" as described above.

• the thing about "keep" message appearing is (AFAIK) a bug; someone who has been on CW for longer than me can confirm, but basically if you just always click keep it seems to behave OK. I still keep local copies of all my katas though, so I can repaste them if I ever deleted by accident in the CW editor.

Appreciate the explanation. Very enlightening. One question though..if you need to edit your kata, how do you get back to the editing page for that particular kata? I mean, where on codewars site are the links to get back to a kata that needs editing?

const chai = require("chai");
const assert = chai.assert;
chai.config.truncateThreshold = 0;

These lines belong to the test fixture, not user code.
