I have adjusted the description. Thanks!

Processing strings in C ++ is always a challenge. I created the kata with MSVC and used wstrings here. I converted these for input and output.

Thanks.

The error output makes debugging extremely difficult. Below the tree I just see my result not what expected. I don't see everything that is after the index of first difference value. This is unfavorable for random tests. If the number of nuts is greater than 9, strange characters are output.

Thank you for the constructive suggestions for improvement.

I am glad that you enjoyed the kata. I would like to wait a bit for the feedback and maybe adjust the level.

In the sample test {"~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 P", 0} has a '0' for each rat as a body, not 'O' as described in the description.

Sorry, I confused that with the call. Great thank you very much!

Yes, that's how it looks to me. When my kids are in bed, I can take a closer look at the random tests.

Please adapt the random tests to the rule "The input message consists of ASCII characters between 32 and 127".

(C#) I was able to solve the kata. For the desert test there was still no check whether there are mountains. With that i got through the random tests. The output appears to come from the previously successful test. Some magic.

I would never have thought of that. Thanks!

I would like to, but the edit button is hidden. I have not yet found out why I am not allowed to edit some katas.
