    if you think you are cheating, you are not.

    my solution begs to differ ;)

    My 9 characters solution time out, too lazy to work out another approach...

    I have a "solution" with 12 unique chars, but 10???

    • Kacarott Avatar

      I was stuck at 11 for a while. I think theres really only one approach that is small enough. It might be worth making the bounds ever so slightly larger?

    • potzko Avatar

      I tried to find more solutions and found a few more in the counts of 11,12 and 13, I increased the char limitation to thirteen to allow for them as well

  • Kacarott Avatar

    I've finally got a working solution that I'll submit once its out of draft again, but the nature of the kata made it a real pain to debug some of the tests. I strongly suggest that on a failed test, the input should be printed for user convenience.

    • potzko Avatar

      I can add it but im cuirius as to why not just print from within the function for debug purpose?

    • Kacarott Avatar

      Well because my function is a big jumbled esoteric mess because it needs to have at most 10 chars. So adding a print means adding it in my original code elsewhere, recompiling, recopying it over, then wait for tests to run again.

      ah good point, ill add it and republish after voile clarifies what they meant in their comment

    your code should contain no more then 10 unique characters

    Yet in the full tests I am getting errors that "this code had 10 unique chars in it"

    • potzko Avatar

      when I rewrote the count chars function I accidentally removed one finger, oops, solved

    At least in sample tests: Tests run the transpiled code returned by user function with something like exec(a:=joy(code1), names), which is an incorrect usage: Variables in Python are defined and looked up at local scope, not global scope, unless nonlocal or global keywords are used.

    • potzko Avatar

      im unsure what you mean here, mind elaborating? the way I read it is:
      exec(a:=joy(code1), names)
      so, a = the code I got from the function as a string
      and names is the "global scope" of the function I run after it is finished
      so if the code is 'q = 5' or an equivilant code, then names['q'] == 5 is True

    separated of the below problem:

    please reduce the noise in the sample tests:

    def count_chars(text):
    if (a := len({i for i in text})) > 10:
        test.fail(f'does not spark joy\nthis code had {a} uniqe chars in it')
        return False
    test.assert_equals(True,True)
    return True
    • the returned value is never used in the sample tests => remove the return statements
    • why the 2 separated assertions!??
    • just store the length and assert using test.expect (with the appropriate error message)
    • typo: uniqe
    • len(set(text)) is more readable

    Hi,

    You need to give the actual specs of the inputs. With the current description, the task could go from 8 kyu to far beyond 1kyu.

    Cheers

    • Blind4Basics Avatar

      I have no idea what you're up to, but now that I see the sample tests, I'm not sure my issue is the right one... There is still an issue for sure, but I don't know exactly what it is yet. I guess the task isn't properly described/hinted.

    • dfhwze Avatar

      The "puzzle" tag is not enough to justify this lack of examples. If the sample tests give you more info about what to expect, I feel more examples should be given in the description. For now, it seems a simple 'eval' should do the trick..

    • Blind4Basics Avatar

      the sample tests rather lost me, actually. It's not about missing examples, it's more about the task is on a different level/of a different kind that what the description suggests at first sight.

    • potzko Avatar

      for this kata the only specs I need to give for the input is that it is valid python code, and that the length is reasonable, I estimated the difficulty at rank 3

      I know what im asking and why it looks hard/impossible however I stand by my estimate and I remind you that this is a puzzle

      I will add more examples

    • dfhwze Avatar

      So you are asking us to pass your specific test cases, not to have 'any' python code reduced to 10 (now 13) chars?

    • potzko Avatar

      no, your solution should be able to pass for any single string of python code, and in N iterations N strings of python code (maintain state) however I only have some test cases as testing all features of python would be unrealistic

      yes, although not exactly everything is allowed, you are guaranteed the source code is valid
