I don't see any difference here... I even used the same number of spaces?

Please add to the description a warning to NOT modify the input parameter. Doing so changes the test cases, making solving the kata much harder!

Rust translation

python translation fork ?->https://www.codewars.com/kumite/68b5bbb63172e6accaa6af6d?sel=68b5bbb63172e6accaa6af6d

Python (all versions):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tests.py", line 12, in <module>
    before = BEFORE(["CAT"])
  File "tests.py", line 5, in BEFORE
    return pretty_print(a);
NameError: name 'pretty_print' is not defined

This happens in both sample and fixed tests

This is a minor and admittedly picky suggestion that doesn't affect the Kata's functionality. The original description was likely written with an object-oriented language in mind, which explains the reference to a "method".

The only change I'd suggest is updating the C language description to use the term "function" instead of "method", since C doesn't support methods in the OOP sense. Here's a fork with that small wording adjustment, in case you'd like to merge it:

Again, this is purely a cosmetic change.

We need to know what happens after the home return!

Is there any continuation to the story?
What happened to that poor cat?!
How exactly does one "fumigate" a house full of hundreds of mumbling, catatonic clones?
Did the original programmer ever get their Codewars ranking back up after this disaster?

So many questions without answers!

Hey friends, I need your help. I’m really confused and not sure I fully understand what’s going on. Can someone please explain this to me?
Why:
=== ===snake=========
'snake' should equal '??' ?

==a======a=a=a=lig===a=t====o=r=r=r=r==
'alligator' should equal '??'

=====k====r=a=vvvv==d=d=d=d=r==a=a=======
'??' should equal 'aardvark'

Surely I am misunderstanding something because the task has been solved many many times in python.
The python sample test contains this example (2025 June):

 @test.it("Ex2")
    def basic_test_cases():
        test.assert_equals(fire_and_fury("FIREYYFURYYFURYYFURRYFIRE"), "You are fired! I am really furious. You are fired!")        
  

But in the notes of the description it says: If multiple of the same words are found in a row then plural rules apply.

Wouldn't one rather expect: "You and you are fired! I am really furious."

I would very much appreciate a hint.

JS tests generate warnings:

Python, possibly other languages: tests are susceptible to mutation of input and either crash or show incorrect visualisation if a user solution mutates input tree.
