Edit: also, your github account has a repo featured with kata solutions - please remove it or make it private (in bitbucket is for free), as you are not meant to share them.
I've been trying to wrap my brain around this, but I can't figure out how this particular reduce callback works. Could someone please explain? Thanks :)
It's meant to be very simple so I don't think there is any way to make this more interesting without changing the concept (i.e. using something besides math operations). You could make your own kata with a more intersting idea.
This kata was fun, but I think it should either be trimmed to just one operation implementation or made a little more interesting. As it is now, it's basically just repeating the same code four times.
I found the description of this Kata to be clearer than most other ways of presenting this problem that I have come across. But you're right, I also spent more time understanding the requirements than implementing the solution.
Thank you for this Kata, it's been really fun! I had done something similar a while ago, but you added the extra challenge of having identical characters alongside the parentheses.
Changing this will break all the solutions, and it's not really important here.
Appreciated, thanks :)
Apologies, I'm going blind :-S
I'll hide that repo, thanks for pointing it out!!!
Done, I've deleted the repo with solutions.
First point of the notes:

This only works for positive numbers and maybe I'm missing something, but the description doesn't limit to only positives.
For example: -10, 5, 6. It returns 1, but max is 20 for -10 + 5 * 6.

Glad you enjoyed. :)

Your Select-code didn't return anything... It was without effect.
Generally you are completely right: Changing a parameter is bad style. But in this kata it is part of the task, that is described .

Right! I'm used to methods returning the solution instead of changing the value of a parameter.
A Select is not changing the Array/List, but it creates a new Enumerable. So you don't change anything.
