TRUE EVEN THO IM POSTING THIS 7 MONTHS LATER

Do you know what a pure function is? Look it up if you don't.
If the solution to this kata were a pure function, it will clearly not work. Therefore...

um i don't understand how??? i have looked at it for a while and i can't figure it out. i mostly d ojava, but javascript is really simiar.

actually nevermind

Yes, and you have to write your function so the argument is optional.

Note: your function should have a default parameter.

That's part of the task. Not a kata issue.

for python, it gives its error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/workspace/default/.venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/codewars_test/test_framework.py", line 112, in wrapper
func()
File "/workspace/default/tests.py", line 9, in basic_test_cases
test.assert_equals(how_many_light_sabers_do_you_own(), 0)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: how_many_light_sabers_do_you_own() missing 1 required positional argument: 'name'

ok fine, i get your point , and this kata has been rertied allready , but their are katas that are far easier, such as "Get nth even number"

i mean the postive ratings, 0% of people gave a positive rathing, translateing to 100% of responders hate it, right?

You're asking for feedback and that's what you got, I don't see any hate in the previous comments. I'd add, add random tests, they're mandatory, have you read Kata authoring guide yet? https://docs.codewars.com/authoring

why does eveyone hate it?
am i doing something wrong?

Fixed

sorry, avoid java for now, working on it!
(now good)
