I would like to follow my friend, but there is no way of finding him.
If you know their name, type in https://www.codewars.com/users/their-name (= click on their name anywhere it appears) and click Follow if you don't know the exact name, ask them somewhere else what their name is here, or use a regular search engine with something like site:codewars.com searchterm
should be able to return to the kata i was on, eg if i am on Rank up and there is a Kata there, the moment i press fundamentals and then back to Rankup, that Kata is gone, but i want to solve it badly....
Similar to my request of "Please put 'As a user I would like to access unfinished Kata via the dashboard.' into the backlog." Possibly a list of viewed Kata or the ability to Favorite a Kata and save a list of challenges to come back to later. Would allow for future features such as a 'level up estimate' where a user can create a backlog of Kata challenges and be shown their final rank/level upon completion of the list.
By passing through the function declarations without an argument, .map(decodeMorseLetter) and .map(decodeMorseWord), the argument is therefore the property that's called it, is that correct? Trying to make sense of this part. Thanks!
Why are you posting this here? Please delete the repeated posts.
It would be nice to add filter in case any user wants to filter all his solved questions based on Kyu order. what I mean to say is if user wants to see all his problems which are of rank 5 Kyu should result in all 5 Kyu problems, smiler to 4 and 3 etc.
It would be extremely handy while going through set of problems and there solution refector.
From https://www.codewars.com/kata/latest/my-languages selecting 5kyu (dragging you can select more than one rank) and Progress: Kata I have completed doesn't do that?
great, thank you for assist.
How can I start over codewars again if I complete all questions and I don't want to see my answers while doing it again?
Create a new account and start over.
It would be nice to get a solution link at the bottom of your solution, from the profile page-> Kata -> completed Kata. An internship I am apart of requests said link once the given challenge is completed and for more popular kata it takes a long time for "my solution" to yield any results.
Hi! I recently found codewars and I love the site. I would like to support codewars but I am not willing to join subscription-based payment plan. I do not join any subscription-based payment plans ever. I know I am not the only one with aversion towards payment subscriptions.
Please consider adding one-time payment option! It is highly likely that the bottom line of the codewars balance sheet would improve if one-time payment option is added. Thanks!
As far as I know, one possible workaround is to subscribe and immediately unsubscribe. This way you pay only once and your subscription is not renewed, so your card is not charged when the current subscription ends.
I can't agree more!
Kakoune key binding will be helpful.
It would be great if we could see other profile's resolutions. It feels like a great thing to have.
When intitially signing up it prompts for developer level, though is does not for each language/syntax you select. There may be some languages you are senior at and some you are new to but want the practice tests.
llorcan1 is cheating. pls ban
Please report them in cheaters thread with more details: what exactly is their offence, why do you think they are a cheater, etc.
It would be handy if the icons for each language were color-coded. For example, if you've already solved a kata in Java, or Python, the icon would be displayed in green instead of blue. A different color could indicate that the kata has been started in a language but not yet completed.
Need for such feature has already been recognized, and it has been requested: https://github.com/codewars/codewars.com/issues/1641
There's also a (unofficial) helper script available which, more or less, helps with it: https://github.com/codewars/codewars.com/discussions/2377
It would be really nice if you can provide code auto complete functionalty to the editor.
Can somebody say me why there is codewars red?
see https://www.codewars.com/subscription
I have a 8 kyu now. I opened the main window this website and I sow.
Your next Your Next Challenge Java Random 6 kyu Convert string to camel case.
I don't think that this is a very good idea to give me a hard task (6 kyu) if I have only 8 kyu.
I think that it will be better if codewars.com will give me more easy tasks on main page, for example, random task with 8 kyu.
I don't understand why codewars.com suggest me 6 kyu task on main page if I have only 8 kyu.
Perhaps you also saw that the "focus area" selected was "Rank Up". That means CodeWars will try find things a bit harder than where you currently are, to help you level up faster. If you want to be suggested lower level katas you can switch the focus area to "fundamentals", or alternatively just use the Kata browser to filter to only 8kyus.

Hey guys,
awesome website - when I was still developing in JavaScript / ECMA Script, this site made my day :) I am currently developing in ABAP and as crazy as it seems -> ABAP is now finally moving to "newer" syntax: https://blogs.sap.com/2015/10/25/abap-740-quick-reference/
With this in mind one of the first things that crossed my mind was: Is there a way to "add" ABAP as a coding challenge language too?
What do you think? And what would need to be done, to "do" that? :)
Looking forward to your feedback! KR, ebbmo
This forum is obsolete, open an issue in this repo for adding a new language.
You should check out the issues of requested languages in order to get acquainted of requirements.
Maybe you could provide some useful info in this thread: https://github.com/codewars/runner/issues/27
Thanks @hobovsky + @XRFXLP - will do :)
I would very much like if something was done with performance Katas. Right now the situation is that you can find interesting Kata, solve it and not be able to submit it due to not good enough speed. As far as i know there exists no way of actually telling how far your solution is from being good enough which makes improving your solution annoying. Also provided test often do not include performance versions of the problem. This means you really just cannot test your code on a problem. To add to this some languages are faster than others and I found examples where you can brutforce solution with C but not Python. I get it, it's hard to manage all this in a right way. I don't think however this should be the reason for sloppiness.
My sugestion would be to make performance and normal version of all those performance Katas or at least flag them. Secondly it should be clear what kind of performance you are getting and what is expected. Otherwise all those problems are basically training in Googlefooing the most efficient algo.
This should be reported as a kata issue.
Kata creation is the users' ability, not a CW's function or CW developers' responsibility.
Katas with performance requirements often have tags like
performance
,optimization
,math
, and/or performance-specific notes in the description about the input size or approximate time complexity that is expected. If some kata has performance requirements but doesn't provide any information about it, you should ask the author to do so.If solution times out, it's too inefficient - as simple as that. Figuring out your code's time complexity is your job, and if for some reason you want to know how many tests you're passing, you can always do something like this:
In theory I agree, but as a user it's frustrating to spend half an hour to an hour figuring out the solution to than have to give up because you cannot find some specific optimization. For me and probably most of this site users it's unclear if the Kata will be 90% problem and 10% speeding it up or the other way around. Also I don't think the said approach with 'counter' works with all implementations of tests although I might be wrong. From the user experiance perspective the lack of corralation between idea quality and execution quality of Katas is the most conspicuous thing about this site. Anyways thanks for the reply.
Is there any fuction that would allow a terminal to test our code?
I'd like to see option "random Kata". If I click on Kata I will see option: "SortBy Popularity, Oldest, Positive Feedback, etc". But I don't see pick random kata. I can pick random Kata on main page but I don't like to chose kata on main page because I can't chose level kata (for example, 8 kyu or 7 kyu).
Hi, is there a desktop app for mac and/or windows? Or is the browser the only login method?
Would you please update Rust to 1.51? I am waiting for reduce()
This is obsolete forum, open issue in this repo: https://github.com/codewars/runner/issues requesting the same.
Hi, How can I change or delete existing kata?
I forgot to remove one trace info with some bad word in it and I want to get rid of that :)
Any suggestions?
Can I share my new kata draft here for people to check if the description is upto mark??
rather there: https://gitter.im/Codewars/codewars.com/kata-authoring-help
how do i submit a translation?
When the author allow contributions, and given you have enough honor points, you'll see
Add new
in the kata's language selector. Read this: https://docs.codewars.com/authoring/guidelines/translation/Note, if there is already a pending translation in the same language, you won't be able to submit yours.
( I am new ) Please, How can I change my profile picture?
You can do it by changing your bound github profile picture
thank you!
Definitely need a feature that helps to remove a discourse that a user has posted once their problem is solved or if they want to remove suggestion. Cannot delete discourse once people have replied
Add support for C++20 please ;)
Any requests regarding languages should be made on CW github.
Is there even a compiler which already supports C++20?
for sure g++ and clang support c++20
[edit]: it is not true
https://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html
Clang is not ready.
https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html
Gcc is not ready.
Please comment on the GH thread: https://github.com/codews/runner/issues/113. You have absolutely right that GCC/CLANG does not implement all C++20 features (my bad), but a few ready to use functions can be helpful to write better solutions.
Why are all of the PowerShell kata math related? I haven't been using PowerShell for scripting too terribly long but everything I've used it for is automation. Not figuring out the cost of coal for Sally to run three trains and how long it will take them to get to their destinations.
I am using Java 11, and I wanted to know if there is possibility to user new JUnit 5 - Jupiter tests ? I am using e.g. assertThrows and it gives me an error:
./src/test/java/SpinWordsTest.java:14: error: cannot find symbol assertThrows(IllegalArgumentException.class, () -> {
Is there a way you could upgrade unit tests version ?
JUnit 5 is supported. Something like the following should work:
Make sure you have
assertThrows
imported.ehh.... can you downgrade my status or something, of course I copied just code without the static impors, its my first time here, be gentle :) thank you!
hello, im not sure if you get points by solving a problem based on the number of cases you solved. i think this is very helpful, rather than not giving you points for all your hard work just because of some dumb case that was never mentioned. im obviously speaking from my experience, because ive solved many problems but could never level up my kata because i never COMPLETELY solve them. its not only annoying, its discouraging. i dont want to go back again and waste time. please fix the point system
What you are suggesting is, no offense, quite stupid. Firstly, if you want to earn "points by solving a problem based on the number of cases you solved", then what about katas ranked
8 kyu to 5 kyu
? Are you saying that CW have to make a7 kyu
kata, with, say, 100 random test cases, worth a 100 points and that CWarriors can earn up to 100 points from solving one low-ranked kata alone? That defeats the purpose of random test cases.They are there to make sure that your code can and will run on all cases stated by the kata. If your code failed to do so, then IMPROVE on it and don't get discouraged.im obviously speaking from my experience, because ive solved many problems but could never level up my kata because i never COMPLETELY solve them
There's no such thing as completely solving a kata. You either do or you don't. If you can't pass all test cases then you simply haven't solved anything, I don't see why one should get points for that.
because of some dumb case that was never mentioned
They don't really have to be mentioned. You can always print the input and find what they are yourself.
alright, i'm really sorry. i spent some hour working on one problem and just couldn't get why it won't pass this one case, im glad i was close to solving it, but it definitely didn't cover all the possible test cases. i wasn't used to getting no score for even solving most of the cases but one, i understand i have the responsibility to improve it but i just got so discouraged at some point because i kept solving problems and used a lot of time for nothing. anyway, i'm really sorry for my rudeness, i will try to overcome this attitude as i'm also dealing with personal problems. thanks.
It would be cool if there was a way to make a temporary "competition". Like, one dojo versus another where two clans are given a specified period of time to solve kata toward a clan score. The clan with the largest score by the end of the specified time wins. This would be great for promoting fun and competitive events within a work environment that increases coding proficiency.
OR, one clan able to have an internal competition with each of its members given a specific time period to solve the most kata.
please add this, it's definitely a great idea. in lichess for example, you can have a competition with teams or individuals. even though, not many people would start out first, who knows. in 10 years, there will be thousands competing.
If CW red allowed users to view solutions above their rank I would pay for the subscription.
You must solve/forfeit the kata to view solutions, and there's no way around that.
Thanks for reply but this is not what I am referring to. I am level "7 kyu" and therefore I cannot view solutions "6 kyu" or above. There is no button or option to view solutions above your current rank regardless of forfeiture of points. I believe this will not affect you since you are already 1 dan rank.
note: When attempted to view solution the following note is printed:
"You have not earned access to this kata's solutions Solutions are locked for kata ranked far above your rank. Rank up or complete this kata to view the solutions."
you should be able to see solutions to 6 kyu at least. Are you sure you cannot?
My bad - you are right about 6 kyu. But not 5. Apparently the solutions are limited to one level above current rank.
How can I turn off autocomplete (for double quotes, parens, etc.) in editor?
You can't, and there's already a pending suggestion for this feature.
I see - I didn't know it was already suggested! Thanks for the response.
Hi! I can't open page with profile. 403 Forbidden nginx/1.17.9 . What should I do?
you broke the codewars . probabaly because of . in front of your profile name
Oh yeah, it works. Thanks
Hi. Is there currently a way to see the timestamp for when I completed a kata?
Timestamps of solutions are recorded, but are not displayed anywhere.
There's a related feature request here: https://github.com/codewars/codewars.com/issues/2148 /
Please add separate tags for algorithms, for instance "Trees", "Graph", "Dynamic Programming" and so on so that it would be easier to find practice problems while learning.
I have written code for a function to solve the Credit Card Mask kata. It works perfectly in my text editor with all the sample tests however when I paste my function into codewars, it fails all the test results. Can anybody help?
Yes, please read this: https://github.com/codewars/codewars.com/wiki/Troubleshooting-your-solution
When you have a problem with some kata, you should write in that kata's discourse, not here.
Thank you! Will do next time.
Could you possibly add support for HTML5 and CSS3?
please, make the kata instruction clearer. lots of kata has extremely unclear intruction.
If some description is unclear, ask the kata author to improve it.
howto find the author?
You do not need to find the author, you just go to kata discussion page and write a post labelled as "Suggestion" or "Issue" asking for improvements or clarifications.
Hello, the posibility to check for a specific styleguide would be great! So for example an implemented cpplint. Or is there already the posibility to do that somehow? Thank you! :D
Hi,
is it possible to add excel exercices to codewars? There are many places where you can improve your coding skils, but it is hard to find something like this for excel. I believe it would help many people and add thousands of new users for site.
You can request new languages here. I am not sure how Excel would fit into Codewars, but now this would be an ultimate language for one-liners :)
Maybe, like writing excel formulas. I would like that to be in codewars :)
I hope that in near future the editor will be updated. For example, when you try to type something it already brings you to the want you want to write.
sort solutions by number of code lines & number of (helper)functions
Hi All,
I just joined the code wars few days back and it's awesome. I have two suggestions:
Thanks
hello fello programers. I am pretty new to coding and I chose python3 to start. I am taking codecademy's course in computer science for python3. I am wondering if anyone is aware of a good resource for practicing loops in python3? I find I'm having trouble with functions. Do I just keep practicing functions to further my understanding of loops or is it possible I missed something and need more practice with the basics? Thank you all very much in advance!
You can see all available katas in Kata section (from the left toolbar) Choose Loop from Tags list and your preferred language and start solving the katas starting from Kyu 8 (easiest)
it would be good if chat frequently with other fellow programers like other messeging appp
yea something like discord would be nice to have in codewars
Would be great to see others' solutions under their profile just like under mine.
Can editor font size feature be available
Yeah it would be great to have this feature I end up increasing all the page font size and it is not very convenient. Also if there will be an option to drag each window size (as in Repl for e.g) It will be great.
Yes
You may post those suggestions there: https://github.com/codewars/codewars.com/issues using the suggestions/feature request template.
https://github.com/codewars/codewars.com/issues/2381 this is the link where I posted the issue
Can Elixir v1.11 be added? Currently only v1.9 is available.
New language versions should be requested by CW code runner board: https://github.com/codewars/runner/issues
How can I find katas with bonus points or a weekly challenge katas?
There are no kata with bonus points, really. Honor rewards depend on kata kyu rank and thre are no additional, special factors.
Weekly coding challenges do not have their history tracked at the moment, but they do repeat after some weeks so sooner or later, the same kata will come up again.
Thanks!
It would be nice to add c# 9 version.
Ask there.
@Chrono79,liner000, actually, new language versions should be requested by CW code runner board: https://github.com/codewars/runner/issues
https://github.com/codewars/runner/issues/95
Hello, a little frustrated. My solution to the "Split Strings" project (using Javascript) works perfectly. When I press ATTEMPT I pass all the tests. However, I also get the message shown below and, hence, get no credit.
FATAL ERROR: CALL_AND_RETRY_LAST Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory
Is there a way to appeal the verdict?
Why didn't your write in that kata's discourse instead of here? It's totally unrelated to Feature Request.
No it doesn't, that's why you get an error message.
You pass all the tests until the error happens. Your code is exhausting the heap's memory.
No. You have to change your code to make it work. If you're using recursion, make sure you don't have an infinite loop.
Also, please, read this: https://github.com/codewars/codewars.com/wiki/Troubleshooting-your-solution
First of all, discussion related to a specific kata should be posted in its dedicated discourse page: https://www.codewars.com/kata/515de9ae9dcfc28eb6000001/discuss/javascript .
I just checked JS version of the kata and it works OK. The problem you see is probably caused by your solution: it passes a bunch of tests succesfully, and then, for some reason, crashes. It does not pass all tests which are there, it passes only some up to the point of the crash, and that's why you do not get any points.
My guess is that your solution tries to allocate a very large array, exhausting all available memory.
Thank you for the replies. I appologize if my post annoyed some of you. I had never posted anything, or asked a question, and, clearly, wasn't sure where to direct my concern; but now I know. So, thank you.
You're welcome, and don't worry too much about about it.
Shouldn't the code I'm writing for a kata be saved, at least, periodically?
I was solving a problem using the website's IDE and decided to exchange a function name for a more meaningfull one. Since it was already being called multiple times throughout the code, I decided to try and automatically replace it. By pressing CTRL+F, I was shown an in-built "Find" tool, with no replacing option though. Then, as a fool, I pressed CTRL+R in hope that a similar tool for Replacing would show. Instead, my browser refreshed and I lost about an hours work... Since the UI has no apparent "Save" button, I expected my code to be persistent to at least some degree.
Hi,
ctrl+H
ctrl+S
: run example testsctrl+enter
: attemptWell, I in fact had not run the code yet as I knew it wasn't ready, and I suppose I'm not the only one who does so when solving complex problems. That said, the knowledge that the code is only saved upon testing/attempting can not be expected from an user. Thus, I suggest a periodical, more reliable saving mechanism.
Furthermore, I'll be more carefull from now on and hit Test prematurelly just for the purpose of saving my code. Thank you for the instructions.
I do really recommend working with a proper IDE, especially when you are going to invest "hours of work" in solving of "complex problems". Honestly, I cannot even imagine working on a challenging kata without proper syntax highlighting, syntax checking, helpful editor features, and step by step debugging. It's really worth it.
For working with an outside IDE, can I run the sample tests of a kata without having to change their pattern? For example, I'd like to have access to
Test.describe
,test.assert_equals
and whatever else I may find in sample tests. Do those come from any particular public package or are they exclusive to Codewars?2 Feature Requests:
Writing it here is useless.
The first point is already here: https://github.com/codewars/codewars.com/issues/1398 For the other one, one can only hope, or you can translate some katas to Perl (or create new ones).
Is there any way to submit/delete unfinished katas that have been retired?
Unfortunately, not.
that's too bad.
Does anyone know the color theme for the in page python interpretor used for the kata? (ex. Material theme, eclipse theme, etc.)
It would be nice if codewars actually issued certification for the users.Atleast we can tag it in our resume.
I think CW is too informal to make any certification reliable. You can link to your rank badge, which is just as meaningful as your Codewars rank. For a proper certificate, it would be better to take part in some actual certification process.
If user solves all katas in each kyu maybe some kind of problem solver cirtificate can be givin(similer to HackerRank)
Can I save search result as collection?
No, there's no such option. You can suggest such feature at Codewars board here: https://github.com/Codewars/codewars.com/issues/
Intellisence for common languages would be nice
It is extremly annoying that you can't copy and paste even the code you have already written.
What's stopping you from doing that?
How can't you? Can't you select the code and copy it? What code you mean, the one in editor, or on some list of solutions?
I had emacs turned on from a while ago and i didn't notice.
bash: There is a bc calculator but no dc, it seems strange to me.
If you changed a clan you still follow people in your last clan. But, sometimes there are many people in a clan and you can't unfollow them quickly. I had to unfollow all of them one by one(There were about 52 people). So, i would recommend to add a feature to unfollow all.
It would have been nice to have a search bar where you can search for users to follow and clans to join.
Light mode background could be a little darker :)
True
It would be nice to display a translator's name next to an author's name at the header of each kata (if the kata was translated by a different person, of course).
To quote the top of this very page:
I feel like there should be more clan features as all you can do is see eachothers stats, im not sure how you would implement this though.
Kenzie Academy Brasil - Experiência
Ability to remove previous clan members when changing clan
Right now if a user changes its clan then the names of previous allies does not get removed form the list of allies.
Itwould be very useful if users are given a choice to either remove the allies or to kepp them.
It would be useful to see the inclusion of relevent markers for solutions such as performance.
Right now, Kata solutions can be ordered by clever and best practices which are both determined by the community and a great way to rank the subjective parts of programming.
We don't currently have any indication as to which solutions are doing better performance wise. A well-informed and knowledgable developer may be able to deduce the most performant solution from those provided, but these stats would be helpful for upcoming developers. I also belive that if these stats are available on the solutions page and not part of the test, it will allow people to pick up performace as a goal as they get more comfortable in the language.
The methods I could see would be time for completion of Kata on final submission (because you would have to run the Kata outside of debug mode), and possibly memory usage if such stats are available for the language.
It was already discussed and comes back from time to time. You can read the github discussion for more details.
Thank You for pointing me to this.
Great
I'd like it if we could search for users in code wars It would be nice to find people we know !
and ability to chat with them
It'd be really great to integrate code formatting. I do mostly C++. I'd imagine it that I upload a
.clang-format
file to my profile, and everytime I save the code, run test, submit etc, the code gets formatted. Not sure whether this was discussed before.Just a hint: using IDE saves you not also this, but also many other problems.
Well, the online editor is OK for such simple tasks like the one on the site. I'm ok with editing online. Just would be nice to not worry about the formatting.
Is there any way to direct message someone? Or to write something on his profile?
Unfortunately not. You can try and reach them out on Codewars Gitter channel if they are active there. If you want to draw someone's attention, you can comment on their solution or answer some of their comments, so they get a notfication, but it does not always work :(
is there anyway to change my shiftwidth and tabsize? I want them to be 4 instead of 2
how to join a clan ???
https://github.com/Codewars/codewars.com/wiki/Clans,-Allies-&-Followers#clans
In user settings you can write your clan name, when there are two or more people with the same clan name they will automatically be put in the clan, you can see their stats ect
Should "Total Code Submissions" in each kata be "Total code attempts"?
I think you should show what are those test data to us (all of them) because it is very hard for us to fix the bug without knowing what those test datas are
https://github.com/codewars/codewars.com/wiki/Troubleshooting-your-solution#how-can-i-see-which-input-causes-my-solution-to-fail
How can I create a clan?
You write a unique string in that field in your profile and you're done.
Why can't we see solutions in other languages?
example, I solved Kata X in Rust, a clan member solved it in Javascript, I can't see their solution.
Not sure what's the point of blocking it if there are no extra points to be gained for completing a single kata in multiple languages. Or am I missing something here?
You are missing the fact thay you get language points for solving one kata in many languages. Overall progress is awarded only once, but language progress is awarded separately. If you do not care about points for other languages, you can unlock solutions in this language by clocking "unlock solutions" in kata trainer.
Is there a way to create a leader board just for employees for a particular organisation? If so how do I set it up?
Use clans. Having the same clan set up will let you see others in your clan and their ranking compared to others. You can change your clan in account settings. If the clan does not already exist, it will be automatically created.
Is there any way to see the katas that I completed in a specific language? For example, I want to see the Katas that I solved with C++. If not I would love to see this kind of option.
For example I solved 2 Shell 8 Kyu katas. I cant see which ones I solved. When I searched in Kata section as "Show me katas in language Shell and the ones I solved" I get every kata that is in available in shell and the katas I solved in any language. This is nice feature, but addition to this I would be glad to see only the katas that I solved with Shell (or some specific language).
This feature has been requested some time ago (see #1641 or #1162), it was not implemented yet, but there are some workarounds (see #1758).
I will check out thanks!
How can I add auto complete to the editor? Nobody writes code without autocomplete, and dragging code back and forth from an IDE is just annoying.
I find coding in a browser, without support of all features available in full-fledged IDE, much more annoying than copying and pasting the code once in a while.
Any one have any websites or suggestions on a good place to start learning regular expressions??? I started the freecodecamp.org one the other day but just wanted to see if anyone had a go to or a regular site they reference for regex...
Not a site suggestion.
FArekkusu should not mark my suggestion as resolved. I have a valid point. See my reply.
That was a question, not a suggestion.
How do I save my code on this site? I don't see a save button.
Attempt the sample/final tests, and the state of the trainer will be saved until you complete the kata.
Using the sample/final tests as the only save method is ridiculous because under certain conditions the site fails to save my changes and many times it has deleted an hour worth of work. In one instance if my sample causes the test to crash or do an endless loop it fails to save my changes. Unless this site provides a save button I doubt if I'm going to spend any more time here. That's a shame because the Katas are fun.
hi
Offtopic.
When I go to my site it says I have completed 28 katas but I can only find 15 when scrolling through it. Is this normal?
A question; not a suggestion.
I am working on a Kata with Python. Identical code run at different speed last night and this morning. I can get the code time out after 50 tests yesterday, but the same code can only achieve 15-30 tests today.
I improved the code efficiency. The new code runs almost 10x faster on my computer. But it still get only 15-30 tests like the old one. (I checked the test it stops at, on my computer it can be finished under 100ms)
Feel like it's the code running enviornment issue... Please advise. Thanks a lot.
Read this: https://github.com/Codewars/codewars-runner-cli/issues/757
Thank you. That's sad.
It'd be good if you mentioned which kata you're having problems with, or better asked a question on that kata's discourse page instead of doing it here.
Nothing has changed since yesterday, and the only thing affected by the issue linked above is the
random
library, so if your solution is suspiciously slow, the reason is most likely different.can anybody help me with this problem. I am not able to solve this...
Find the numbers of a given string and store them in a list, display the numbers which are bigger than the length of the list in sorted form???
This is not at all right place to ask this question.
In case your question is particular kata related, you can try asking in that kata discourse.
and apart from that, your question is not clear. (but please don't explain it here, because this is not at all right place). You can try asking the same in https://gitter.im/Codewars/codewars.com/kata-solving-help
My apologies
I cannot translate DEBUG katas to C++, because the solution setup has to compile.
Not a suggestion, and the initial solution does not have to compile.
difficulty level visibility switch.. sort of
mmmh? If you're talking about reversing the order of the kyus, won't happen... ;)
No that's not what i'm talking about.
Just like the way we can switch to night mode and back, something to cover the difficulty of katas. So i would solve a 6 kyu and won't know if it's a 5. You get?
errrr... I guess... (feels a bit like a weird idea, to me x) )
Doesn't feel so to me. At least users can vote if they want it. Can i proceed to create a request on github?
github: sure.
Is it possible to transfer a Kata ownership to another user? Someone abandoned a Kata and I want to adopt it, I contacted the onwer and he is willing to transfer it to me. Is there a way to do such a thing?. Thanks!
It's not possible. But if the author "goes away" for some time or let issues/suggestions opened long enough on the kata, "power users" can have access to it and maintain/correct it. Or any contributor to the kata, actually. But the author always stays the author of the kata.
.
Hello, I submitted same solutions three times. I wanted to delete first 2 but I couldn't do it. Is it possible ?
nope
I skipped my previous kata ,but now i wanna complete that but unfortunetly i did not find option to go back on previous kata. is this option not here, if it is not ,then i think option should be of going back on previous one kata.
If you trained on it you can find it in your profile (top right) > Kata > Unfinished. Otherwise you can search it by name here if you remember some words from it. I don't really think there's a way to backtrack the kata feed directly.
This site should have a simple save button. I've also lost work here when the sample/final tests fail to save the current input.
hello,I am having a problem. From yesterday whenever i try to write a code or comment in codewars, a green cursor appears and i am unable to do so. Somehow i managed to write this query. Can anybody help me with this issue!
MAybe you got hit by this issue? https://github.com/codewars/codewars.com/issues/1814
Is your email account confirmed? Maybe you could try and reconfirm it?
No thats not the issue with me. My email is also confirmed. My problem is that the blinking white thin cursor that comes in the text areas while typing normally.Mine is appearing bold green and blinking.I cannot write anything then.But when i press key 'a' it goes back to the normal and when I use the shortcut ctrl+'c' it again changes to the green cursor.SO i cannot use the copy shortcut in codewars.
Maybe you have Vim/Emacs turned on in the editor?
whats that? and how to turn it off?
When you write code for a kata, you have EMACS and VIM switches at top right corner, which enable some "editor modes". You can switch between them, or turn them both off to get "normal" behavior.
It sohuld not happen in comments tho, only in code editor. If you have it happening in comments, I think you sohuld raise an issue on github.
It was happening in the comments also....now i disabled both vim and emacs in the editor. Now my issue is resolved.It doesnot appear in the comments also. Thank you!
When I use Attempt, and my code fails for some reason, I think the Output screen should show what test it was running, instead of just showing the output.
Things to read:
Bottom line: it cannot be done (or, it's difficult to be done for technical reasons) in general way for all kata and all tests automagically. It's something what kata authors should take care of. If you think output of tests is not clear, you can suggest an improvement to the kata author.
I Wanna know how many players are in total at #Codewars (active)? at 01_08_20
We can have some kind of fast quiz, maybe with puzzles in scratch and thunkable can be great for my teenagers students too, they wanna start but they need this inputs first.
An Assembly, Hex, Arduino, RADIUS and Kernel puzzles too (if the players agree).
how about to addi possibility of submitting solutions from API? it will be g8 to solve katas from you fav text editor
Great insigh man! API and make some segment (in some cases) like servers and clients. Can be very useful too [specialization].
You should make feature requests on CW github.
Feature request: star collections, so that you can find them later easily (I am sorry if this feature is already created, I am new to Codewars. If it exists, please tell me how to do it :) )
There's no such feature yet. To bring it to the attention of maintainers, you can create feature request on CW github: https://github.com/codewars/codewars.com/issues
Feature Request: Country-wise leaderboards?
All feature requests should be made on CW github.
Feature request: Filter kata by author
Not in the Kata list, but you can see the katas someone has authored from his/her profile -> Kata -> Authored.
Yeah i know but it doesn't have features (such as the check mark when you complete a kata) like the kata list
You can use the author's nickname as the search filter. If you need anything better than that, open an issue on CW github.
Thanks..
hi
Is there a way I can create my own (public) collection? If so, how?
Click on view profile --> collections
Feature Request - Section on the kata page showing allies who have completed the kata?
Maybe not what you want, but: In Solutions, you can see Solutions of Users I am Following. You have to solve it and submit your solution before accessing it.
I there the package Polynomials in Julia? I can not use it.
ERROR: LoadError: LoadError: ArgumentError: Package Polynomials not found in current path:
import Pkg; Pkg.add("Polynomials")
to install the Polynomials package.I'd like to use it for some katas.
You can see available libraries on wiki. If package of your interest is missing, you can request it on CW runner repo.
Please Someone Help
I can not see kata output result. I can not see any error message or passed message only green and red backgroud appearsAnyone know or familiar with this issue?
No, post your issue here
happens with me too sometimes, i get white instead of red. Refreshing the page fixes it, but beware your code might get cleared:)
I can not see any output results only red and green lights are appeared. Is it happed to all or only me?
How do you follow someone? I can't search for users
if you know their name, type in https://www.codewars.com/users/their-name (= click on their name anywhere it appears) and click Follow if you don't know the exact name, ask them somewhere else what their name is here, or use a regular search engine with something like site:codewars.com searchterm
class Addition: pass
a = Addition()
print (a.add(5,6))
I am trying to run above code but getting error that "add() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given"
Can someone please help where am I making mistake?
If that's for some kata, I suggest you use that kata's Discourse to ask your question, read this
Here it's unrelated and hard to reply without context.
You forgot
self
in the parameter list:def add(self, a, b)
Got it..Thank you very much!
It would be cool if you could filter out the passed or the failed test results.
All suggestions should be made on CW github.
How about creating a friendly UI to search for other profiles?
duplicate suggestion
I know its a lot but it'll be awesome
you can use gitter for chatting
Do exhaustive search => check if there are issue open on github codewars => if there aren't of the feature you want => open feature request with reasonable reason, and hope that it would be implemented.
And please don't copy stuff from codechef/hackerrank/hackerearth.
what the... thanks for taking your time! I'll keep that in mind:)
#Clan challenges, and private messages gonna be awesome, great idea man!
Please can you add a way to share kata with other users. I want to share the kata and have my friends do them and compare our solutions.
choose your weapon:
solutions of users I follow
(assuming you follow them)not enough??
Touche... Wasn't thinking really. Don't know what I wanted actually. Maybe a share button next to each kata would just be satisfying on another level to me lol! Even if it just let's you copy the URL like with a youtube video.
There is also something you could do (I've never used tho), it is creating a kata collection
you don't need a web page's help to copy its URL...
Hi, I just wonder can i translate katas for people and if I can how to do that?
https://github.com/codewars/codewars.com/wiki/Tutorial:-How-to-translate-a-kata
No, I mean translation from English to other languages.
google translate
Searchable users, Easier Clan invitations.
The "social aspect" is lacking. Trying to find a friend to go head to head or to even use this as a training tool can be clunky and painful.
Code formatting with prettier would be amazing please!
Feature requests should be made at CW github.
Is there any way that I can attempt the katas that I have skipped? Where can I find the skipped katas?
There's a list of unfinished katas in your profile.
How about a badge for completing a kata on mobile? I wouldn't attempt anything to complicated because of screen size but one liners s work!
It could be nice if we could vote for the most "pedagogical" solution, it may motivates players to write self explanatory code.
Structured and commented code is not what everybody writes, but if encouraged it may help beginners getting some key concepts.
great idea!
Yes this would be very helpful, especially when some of the sample code condenses everything into one line
Yes, yes, yes! THIS.
Add, please, J programming language
Belongs in the runner cli Github repository.
oh, can't find
You can open a new language request on https://github.com/codewars/codewars-runner-cli following the language request issue template.
Cool feature would be to have a 'speedtest', a time the solution have been executed by. So when you look upon solutions after completing the kata, you can compare them by their viability.
I don't know if a post like this has already been created, but as a teacher, I'd like to see some educational settings. I'd love to place students into a "class" (in addition to clan), assign specific problems to all the students in the class, and have honor tracked for only the assigned problems students complete - so they'd have their overall honor and their class honor. Also, that class honor can earn points from non-official Katas (ones developed specifically for the class) All of the same features could be set up for a local/regional coding competition instead of just for classes.
A step towards something like this could be providing an ability for people to subscribe to collections and have honor displayed for the completed Kata from just that collection.
Well, I've just encountered a web request issue in which when I tend to submit my ans It gives a message saying 'This error was caused due to an issue processing the web request, not because of an issue executing your code. You can retry the request.' I've already change my pc, change browser, restart pc, log out and log in and still ntg seems to work! Does anybody here know how to solve this issue or is this just an issue of mine?
This website is so great and useful for practicing my coding skills. One feature I would really love is if we could have the system for leveling up and increasing in honor apply individually for each programming language. For example if I'm 6 kyu from practing lots of JavaScript activities, but I've never practiced Haskell before, or whatever, I would start from 8 kyu in Haskell, etc, but still be 6 kyu in JS. And I could level up in rank and honor in a certain language specifically when I do exercises in that language. I think that would be a feature that would improve the usefulness for this training site even more. Thanks for all the work put into this! It's great!
... but such feature is already there? There is "overall" ranking, and it is also broken down into individual languages. You can track it on your profile page, next to that round progress thingy, where all languages you trained are specified with progress you made in each of them.
Oh, haha. That's true, I didn't notice that. Thanks for telling me.
I think it should be possible to HIDE solutions in the case of: -duplicates -wrong copy paste from editor -refactor. After confirming that this is not a CHEAT, the solution should be REMOVED.
Hiya, sorry, really simple request, there must be a button somewhere but I just can't seem to find it.
How do I change from dark to light theme?
You can't for the time being. Read this
Okay, I left challenge by clicking on some link and now I want to find that challenge again. I tried skipping to that challenge but it didn't show up. Challenge was int(35999) => HH:MM:SS max (99:59:59) min(00:00:00). How to find it again?
https://www.codewars.com/kata/52685f7382004e774f0001f7 is this your challenge? you can also try going to "view profile" > "Kata" > "Unfinished"
Thanks.
Resources Tab:
Hello, i think it might be convenient to have a new "Resources" tab on each Kata where people can post link to useful resources that can help solve the kata.
Exemple: i come across this kata but i don't know a lot about transpiler, so i could search for resources in the new tab to help me.
And as comments, users could upvotes/downvotes resources according to their utility
I agree with you.
Hello everyone, I do not know if I should post my message here, but I start. I had an idea of kata, only I do not know if it is achievable. This is why I wanted to ask you if the PostGis extension is available with PostgresSQL 9.6? My kata is based on database geometry. Regards, Ezok.
hey everyone i am new here and new to coding, i am very eager to learn and i am a very hard worker. even though i dont know much....i have fell inlove with coding and want to learn so much more, even though i am struggling i still feel the urge to make something of it THANK YOU!!!

Hi everyone, why my "create kata" tool are hide ?
Your privilege to create a kata is currently suspended because of the way you handled the feedback from the community (ignoring the feedback about the duplicate).
I can undo the suspension if you promise you're not going to repeat it.
Yes. Sorry please, this was my first kata, I did not know the rules)
Done
Thanks a lot )
.
Please stop spamming your blog(s).
@yashdeora It appears that you joined to promote your blogs (never solved a kata and only commented about your blogs). Please stop. You've been warned.
.
How can I get Kata focused on specific tags e.g Strings or Arrays?
Go to katas list (2nd button on the left side) and on the left you see list of
tags
, that's where you can filter what you want, as well as kyu ranges, and languages.How can i change my profile image (without beeing forced to link some social accounts)?
You can't.
This has to be a joke. Are you a developer/maintainer from codewars or just some user?
I doubt that a modern (looking) website, that is about "coding", lacks the ability to set profile images and then doesn't even generate random images like github.
Is this feature really not existing here? If so: Why?
The only way to change your profile picture is to link your account with Github.
B1ts is just a user, not a maintainer/developer (So am I). You unfortunately have to link to your Github account. See https://github.com/codewars/codewars.com/issues/1398
Thanks, this is really sad. Maybe i will create my own platform like this here then, just with much less bugs and proper core-features. The github feature-request is over 2 years old. If a platform isn't capable to implement such a core feature after even 2 years, this is not a good sign and so maybe this platform will be going down at some point :/
Good luck
I was going to search for this request, but there is no search on the Wiki doc site or this forum?! So I request a search in the docs and this forum.
I was looking for a way to save my code on a Kata so that I can work on it at a later time without losing all the code I typed. Is there a save feature I am missing?
thanks
Your code is automatically saved when you run sample/final tests.
And if you have any more suggestions, raise an issue on CW github instead.
Thanks for the response.

Hi, I'm new here. In some of the competing websites, they give you a sense of how efficient your solution is. I assume they run it against a very large N and time it, compare the time to other solutions, etc. From the first couple of problems I solved on the site, it didn't seem to have that feature. Does it depend on the excercice itself? Or is there no such feature (yet)?
There's no such feature, and there won't be one, as the test setup is provided by CW users.
Actually, I think there is room for this feature. I see that when I submit a solution, it is timed! Therefore, the calculated time could be attached to the submitted solution, and when listing the solutions you could sort them by time. In any case, I would greatly appreciate such a feature. As I understand correctly, I could write a terribly inneficient solution and still pass the kata? If so, I think I prefer other sites so that I get pushed to write efficient solutions.
I've explained here why this is impossible. Some other factors are not mentioned there, but it's more than enough to explain why such feature cannot be added.
This depends on the kata requirements.
Good to know that some katas have performance requirements, looking forward to reach those.
I've added a comment to the github issue. I wouldn't be so quick to claim it is impossible, this is a platform made by coders for coders after all :)
.
I would love it if when pressing tab, instead of getting four spaces, we get an actual tab.. :)
That varies for the actual language. A tab is an indent.
Is there a way to remove inactive users from our clan? The overall group experience and status becomes a bit lost when there is inactive members showing in the clan list.
Duplicate suggestion, see my reply to florinpop's post.
Hi there
Is there any way to link our current codewars rank in linkedin ? As in is there any integration in between the 2?
Not currently. Please make requests on CW github instead of this page.
Great idea, very wise!
please check this: https://www.codewars.com/users/limbogabi/badges
Can we please have a light mode back? Not all of us have such eyes to read light text on black. Thanks. It was here once upon a time (sun / moon buttons), but seems to have been lost somewhere.
You should make requests on CW github instead of this page. I created an issue, and you can track the progress from there.
How do you remove a bookmark from a kata? I am using chrome and I am not being able to remove a previously bookmarked kata from the bookmarked list. Any help will be appreciated!
Collections, you mean? It's a pretty broken feature on CW. See here: https://github.com/codewars/codewars.com/issues/2058
Some API improvements for getting submitted code of completed Katas would be great!
Please make requests on CW github instead of this page.
i think it would be nice to introduce the possibility to delete old solutions after refactoring. I accidentally submited a not working refctor solution and it apper in the list with not possibility to delete it.
Duplicate of X1Z53's suggestion. Also, please make requests on CW github instead of this page.
A more standard NASM platform.
NASM does not respect the C calling conventions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_calling_conventions), since saving the base pointer is not compulsory for the programmer, and the place in which the arguments will be loaded from, as some katas explain, may vary between challenges (in some the arguments are in registers, in others are saved into the stack). This inconsistent behaviour could lead to an unhealthy habit while programming assembler,and a suffering when the developer does not know what to read from. The proggrammer could write code that is not legal in terms of universality.
post rather that here
Roger that
NASM follows the AMD64 ABI calling convention. It is the standard convention for Linux.
Saving base pointer is not compulsory and all arguments are in registers unless there are more than 6 integer arguments or more than 8 floating-point arguments.
Please support Python 3.8
This is already issued on Github. You can follow it here: https://github.com/codewars/codewars-runner-cli/issues/771
Is there a way I can automatically remove all the followings from my previous clan?
Also... Is there a way to see the page of a clan with its members?
Unfortunately, no. There's issues on GitHub already about it though: https://github.com/codewars/codewars.com/issues/249 https://github.com/codewars/codewars.com/issues/1908
Also, there isn't. For feature requests, you can raise an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/Codewars/codewars.com
Hmm... Interesting to see Florin Pop here btw :)
Is there a way to remove a solution completely? I think there should be a possibility to remove a solution, and of course also the points that come with it. The reason why I'm asking: Lately I tried a solution from someone else just to check the performance and they are submitted even without pushing the submit button. I'll report this as bug as well,
unfortunately no :(
New issues should be submitted on Github only, so resolving.
So I ranked up to 5 Kyu doing purely SQL katas. I'm good with that for now, and I want to switch over to some Python training. Is there a way to keep track of Kyu level in different languages like Python and SQL?
Only with CodeWars Red subscription, AFAIK. (you can check my profile what it looks like)
There's a rank breakdown in your profile, even without CW Red.
There is:
I used to have autocomplete {} () [] but now i don't where can i manage it ?
CW editor doesn't have that feature. You can request features here: https://github.com/Codewars/codewars.com/issues
HOW CAN I CHANGE MY ACCOUNT'S AVATAR ?
Hi)
I didn't find the right button either, but my avatar changed after I linked up the github (Account settings-->Social-->Link your github) Now my avatar from github)
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Can you add a way to run c#'s unsafe code? Apparently there is option to do that on codewars. Thanks.
Please make requests on CW github instead of this page.
Hello, I have a potential stupid question but I'm total noob so please bear with me, how can put the codewars katas that i solved in my github? my profile is linked but i don't see the katas in github. THANK YOU
Linking your GitHub account on CW literally creates a button in your CW profile leading to your GH account.
If you want to list the solved katas, you have to do it manually. If you want to publish your solutions, you're not supposed/allowed to do that.
There is no automatic way to do this, and you're not supposed to do it. Publishing solutions to katas on another public platform is discouraged.
Oh!!thank you so much, I didn't know about that!!!!
My son is learning programming on this site. And I would like to track his progress. Therefore datetime stamp when kata has been completed would be nice indicator for the progress. Please, consider to add this feature.
Please make requests on CW github instead of this page.
How to remove my bad solution?
I want people who look at my solutions to look at my best solutions, not obsolete less good ones.
You can't remove your solutions :/ If you have multiple solutions, all of them will be visible.
Yes, I know... (
Yeah, I don't like it, too. Simplest way to reslove the issue would be, if not to remove, then at least to ovewrite a kata when refactored. New solutions would be added only via 'submit final'. In the beginning I thought refactoring overwrites and ended up with 10 versions of a kata I can't remove..
Yeah...
Codewars has a policy about respectful comments, however I have came across one where the issue reporter was disrespectful:
WTH...? X/* /ou already got Katas retired because they were lacking the basics, iirc, didn't you? so how it's it this one still doesn't have random tests?! x/
This isn't very respectful, right? while relating to other katas of mine when the issue addressed is about this kata of mine.
If there was the feature to report disrespectful comments like these it would be very helpful - because some warriors are simply getting away from infringing the rules. And is that a really healthy and respectful community?
However, even with the presence of this rule, there should still be a layer of moderation to catch comments that are not really disrespectful or harming.
Oh no, B4B is in trouble x)
I'm not sure where you see this wave of disrespect, because I don't see anything of that nature in your given quote. If anything, you sir, are wasting those moderators' time by publishing a kata without following basic guidelines for creating a kata! You are given feedback on why your kata got retired, and your response is to try and get that person banned? Sounds reasonable.
Try to filter these messages through the lense of a person who has to deal with many incomplete katas every day, issues raised for no reason, or just having a bad day. You're just one of many.
Understand that no one's attacking you, only your ideas. And without these "mean" moderators, who do moderate on their own generosity, the whole website could fall apart. So maybe stop for second and think of how it makes you look when you're biting the hand that feeds you.
The suggestion itself has already been discussed. It has merit, but it's low priority. There is a feature to block a user, but I've never used it and it seems it can cause problems. There's an interesting discussion about it here. I personally see people on CW being friendly, and offensive posts are rare to be honest. Malicious users can be reported and banned, but certainly not the kind you're referring to.
Hello, I'm trying to make it a goal to complete one Codewars problem a day and want to commit it to my Github. Is there a way to do this directly from Codewars or do I have to manually do this?
You can't automatically post your code to GitHub, and you're not supposed to make solution public either.
Is it possible to save specific solutions? Like sometimes when I finish a kata there are solutions that blow my mind when I analyse them, but I will probably forget the methods they used to solve it later on. It would be nice if I could bookmark them and come back later to review them.
It was always possible to just copy and paste and save on your own machine, which will probably be more reliable than a bookmark over arbitrary time scales. Bookmarks get broken all the time.
However, the row of items below each solution ends with a link called "Link" which does exactly what you want.
It is weird that I didn't think of saving it on my machine. Thanks, will do that.
But still it would be a quality of life improvement if you had a list od solutions, even if some are broken, one click away. But that is just lazy me taking.
I have a hundred or so bookmarks in FF from glslsandbox.com, often for the same reason as you. My "allergy" to broken links is developed much more recently, and I admit that it's just another "someone else's cloudy thing" I'm basically trusting to still be there... I need to write a thing that takes a URL then grabs and caches each shader's JSON file/payload/whatever. But I'm lazy too.
I also have folders in the bookmarks toolbar that I can quickly drag tabs into such as 'HN' for articles and especially comment pages from Hacker News. It'll be a thread "Ask HN:" in which people post dozens of interesting links (many of which are going to be broken next year, :sigh:). Anyway, the folders drop down with a click. I guess it's slightly less convenient than you'd like, first because the page title and therefore the bookmark title isn't going to automatically be completely informative :( So I opened an issue for it: https://github.com/Codewars/codewars.com/issues/2006
I suppose that could also be done with something like a userscript but JS is not one of My Languages :P
If there's a way, kindly point me to it. Otherwise, I'd give my two front teeth for an option to turn off (Cmd + s) to Attempt. My save-twitch is causing me to miss out on first try submissions, and it's breaking my heart.

I love getting the weekly coding challenge email, but the last two I received don't have any challenges for my languages, except one that I have already completed. Can the emails please be more relavant to the user it's sent to, in terms of chosen languages and whether the kata is completed or not?
For code golfing I would like to have a "Sort by solution length".
Yes! Perhaps "significant characters"
Some languages can be run against a "minifi" program to make them shorter. I'd like char count to reflect minified code so we do not discourage people from using spaces and new lines for readability in languages like Java and C#.
Otherwise it might be best to simply exclude spaces and new lines from the char count.

Add possibility to extract initial values from KATA. For an example I can not extract MORSE_CODE :( I need to do fmt.Println(MORSE_CODE) and I will get not source code like variables, I will need to modify them by myself :(((
will output in Go syntax.
I wish for a "submit solution" button or similar, so I won't keep accidently submitting solutions I'm still optimizing. I also wish for a way to delete submitted solutions.
Apologies if these possibilities already exists, but have eluded me.
I think that the "best solution" parameters would be readability and execution speed. It would be really interesting to show the execution speeds of published solutions. That way, we can better upvote the top solutions.
I think it would be interesting and helpful if users were able to see the statistics of different kind. For example:
Add Fift language support, reference: https://test.ton.org/fiftbase.pdf
... (although this belongs to https://github.com/Codewars/codewars-runner-cli...)
Before requesting to add a language I suggest thinking whether anybody is interested in it. It's already happened that people asked to add "cool" languages like PureScript, Solidity, Visual Basic, or Objective-C, and nobody on CW cares about those now.
Closing because the forum is not used on anymore and all suggestions should be made on GitHub as Steffan noted.
@Steffan153, @FArekkusu, thanks!
In 'Kata page' please add tick mark near picture of program language which are resolved.
I am not able to upgrade to red subscription. please tell me the details of what kind of bank cards do i have to carry. when i am using my debit card it shows the transaction cant be done with this card. help me with another payment option or method for the membership.thanks
Please add an easy way to to follow your friends if you only know there username.
go to https://www.codewars.com/users/theirusername and follow them.
please add gawk to the shell environment. It's too inconvenient to use the traditional awk.
Is there a possibility that in the future we could at least even basic Intelligent code completion? Even if it's only for the most popular languages. I have to solve Katas in my own IDE and solving them directly in the browser would be very handy.
Is it possible to be in multiple clans? I would like to be able to group different people together (I'm a teacher and I would like my different sets to be in different clans, but I'd like to be able to see them all, but then to also have a clan for a whole year group and another clan for the whole school) - perhaps even a clan hierarchy with different sub-clans?
you can;t join multiple clans but you can see them all as allies by joining there group one by one and then leaving
That's not a resolution!
Please allow f-string python formatting. e.g. f"The answer is {str(1+2)}"
That is available. You jsut need to set the python version to 3.6
Some katas don't have that available, but it can be enabled (4k honor users can edit katas to do that_.
Good to know. Thanks, Steffan153
Please update the DART to lastest version.
I think it could help if we could know whith wich entered value test failed instead of only the stack trace and the expected value
Could we get a filter on https://www.codewars.com/kata/ for "Katas I have not completed in selected language"? I mostly use codewars to practice new languages, and new languages don't have many katas, so if I want to practice some Elixir, I want everything I didn't do in Elixir yet, even if I already did that in Python or something.
I don't see any way to filter this.
Why is there no sort by "execution time" in the solutions? Isn't the time/efficiency of a solution important?
i feel like since the data is so small for these tests, that run time is not super relevant. Run time for small sets of input is not a good indicator, it is when we talk about "sufficently" large enough data sets.
Guys, it will be Great if you'll include cats-core and cats-effect libraries to scala!!! 😊
Will be very usefull when solving problem and learning
fp
at the same time.P. S. Not so technically hard to add them.
It would be very nice if it would be possible to order solutions by the result of benchmarking.
Is there a way for me to have the solutions I did before I got Codewars Red show up on my stats? I was waiting until I got to 2kyu to get Codewars Red and I just got to 2kyu and got a 6 month subscription but looked at my profile and have 0 Completed Kata for all of my langauges.
Looks like the stats are not calculated yet because you just signed up and showing
0
as a fallback value. It should show the correct value after the next scheduled refresh, but I'll try triggering the job for you.It updated now thanks!
I think there should be a feature that overwrites the old solution after a refactoring, or at least puts it in a dedicated section, so that the "actual" solutions don't get grouped together with the obsolete ones that the coder no longer wishes to see. Also, it should be possible to delete solutions to handle the cases where the same solution is accidentally submitted twice.
Is there a way one can view all the test cases, not just the sample test cases? Does this classify as a spoiler?
Yes, but only once you solved the kata. You can print the input in most katas too.
kinda ruins the point because most people need a fixed sol in test cases so it spoils it
Exactly. You have to put the solution in the random tests, right? I mean, how would you check if the user's solution against the random value is correct without it. Obviously you don't want people to copy and paste the solution.

There's a post on here that uses the a-word. You should add a report feature.
It would be helpful to get more details, because there's hundreds of words beginning with a on that page.
e.g. Which specific post is it? What is the word?
If this is related to cheating, then I'd recommend posting a message in the Cheat Detection section.
I think you know what I mean. I'm not saying it, because you're trying to troll me. Ever heard of cuss words?
Okay, I see what you're saying. I suppose I must have read that post, but it didn't even register because I was looking for something programming related.
I don't think a report feature is necessary for things like this. It's very mild, generic, not an insult, not directed at any person, etc. It's also being used as an idiom, rather than directly. I've read children's books to my niece/nephew with equivalent words to this.
I think it's worthwhile to discuss the merits of a report function, but I don't feel that the linked post is evidence for needing one.
A more useful example of a report function would be something like this: https://www.codewars.com/kata/reviews/59b795b5335adec4b6000a2a/groups/5be209cd3ae6a7d464002fcb#5d2c7f5e14a6ef002210f1e5 or https://github.com/Codewars/codewars.com/issues/1198
Ok. But I found another one too:
https://www.codewars.com/kata/tortoise-racing/discuss/javascript
There's a 7 kyu saying 'D***, i was just happy to get it to work'
I agree with you, but it's just that a lot of people don't care about cuss words.
It doesn't have to be a new user, I've seen power users do it too.
Yes, a report function would be useful though. Did you see the links I mentioned?
No, it's cuz I'm mainly good at math so I use artofproblemsolving.com. They have a resource called For The Win! and it has a report abuse page + language filter. CW could probably use the same code in here. Would help a lot.
Ok. The profanity filter has been requested, but it was rejected: https://github.com/Codewars/codewars.com/issues/1474
Also, profanity words aren't really abuse. You don't report that, you might filter it though. Something like the links I mentioned above are something better to report.
This website is full of profanity stuff, unfortunately :/
If you wish to sign up for Codewars Red only to help support Codewars as a one time donation, simply sign up with a subscription and then cancel immediately afterward.
You should probably make a donation page.
When I post, the moment after says 'soon'. Instead, it should say 'a few seconds ago'. thx.
thx.
After winning a war I would like to see a flag next to the defeated challange. That way I can see my cadavers grave.(I though about how when I pass a codewars challenge theres no checkmark to let me know that I have completed it already. ) I really want this feature XD.
In the kata list, there is a tick mark at the left of the kata name.
That's the only place where it shows the tick mark :wink:
How do I find someone / someone's profile?
You can't search for user profiles. If you know the user's nickname you can access it directly by going to
https://www.codewars.com/users/<nickname>
.Thanks. I wanted to be allies with my friends but coudn't figure how.
how can I filter out questions in Python that use Python 2? I want only Python 3.6+ questions...
Right now, you can't, already requested here
This may be a bit of work for the development team, but I'd like to see the introduction of IDE-like features, such as auto-completing of brackets and quotation marks, suggestions and auto-fill of functions and variables, auto-indentation for Python (and any other language where indentation is significant), and live highlighting of more syntactic errors.
"A bit of work", aren't you asking for "a lot of work" instead?
I'd like to search for someone but could not find this feature? Anyone can help?
I'd like the option to delete my solutions and consequently lose the experience for that action. Reason being, I've being doing a Kata and when I test my solution vs the random test cases, my solution sometimes passes, I have since found the bug in my code to why this is, however my code has been submitted x number of times without me knowing(I tried to go back/refresh to test my code against the random test cases again(so it passes every time) but think it kept submitting. Now left with a few solutions(messy) Is there a way to clear these up?
Any help would be appreciated.
Another option could be to have 4 buttons at the bottom of a Kata(Reset, Run Sample Tests, Attempt) -> when a user has solved the kata and 'Attempt' turns to 'Submit final solution' to the left of this another button could appear 'Re Run Random Tests' to more thoroughly check your code, rather than not getting to test your code again.
