modifyMultiply ("This is a string",3,5)

An Example without a solution is not an example.

Thanks for the reply. Ill give it a go later. Im a JavaScript guy but I started learning Python yesterday and am totally engrossed. There's so many online resources, one can pick up a new language fairly quickly it seems. I chose Python after seeing a comment by an cw admin on how easy it was to learn.

I think it shouldn't matter for most kinds of solutions.

This looks like a good kata and wanted to try it but I don't know how to count the occurrences of non-ascii characters, so I'll have to pass. Googled it but couldn't find anything definitive.

After reading the kata description I understand as much as I did before reading the description. LOL Probably due to my lack of experience but Ill have to pass on this one. Not enough credit on a 7 kyu to invest the effort.

No odd inputs in examples? lol 😆
How come?

This is a fun kata. Hope more people will be able to find it and give it a try.

Nice kata. If it's too easy just hit the 'next kata' button. (Ive been reading the comments)

EXAMPLE:

American vs. European

American on Left. European on right.

Note: Europeans have two ground
floors (the zero floors). Americans
have no 13th floor. Negative floors
are basement floors.

15 == 13 
14 == 12
12 == 11 
11 == 10 
10 == 9 
9 ==   8 
8 ==   7 
7 ==   6 
6 ==   5 
5 ==   4
4 ==   3 
3 ==   2
2 ==   1 
1 ==   0 
0 ==   0
-1 ==  -1 
-2 ==  -2 

JavaScript.
Example tests? lol shouldn't there be more than 1? This is the only one I see

var lst = [ [1, 2], [1, 3], [1, 4] ]; 

and they are all irreducible.

Incorrect how.

The test cases are incorrect.

I can definitely sympathize with those that are frustrated with this kata. And there are no examples on the initial page. If I didnt have a fairly strong math background (math was a hobby of mine at one time) Im sure I would be in the same boat. In order to look things up, you need to know how to pose/phrase the question. Without that background knowledge your googled question is like a shot in the dark - youll be lucky to get what youre looking for. On the other hand, many katas are based on inside knowledge, and giving out this inside knowledge can turn a 6 kyu kata into an 8 kyu kata. btw can i upload an image like the one used in this kata, or do I have to give an address for it? Anyway, not a bad kata if one has some math background.
