Python update (new testing framework)

[ "Q", "Q", "Q", "Q", "Q" ]
["10", "Q", "Q", "Q", "A" ]
[ "Q", "A", "A", "J", "Q" ]

How this gets 600 points?
Nah, description sucks.

approved, let's see if this stops the kata from being torpedoed down (users are ruthless :/)

JS update

• Calculating expected values should be done within the it header where the result is tested, so debug logging gets printed with the testcase.
• The first example in the description is never used again, not as an example for calculating a score and not as an example testcase. Replaced that with the example that is used.
• Myriad other littler things.

The test suite is not written maintainably, but I could not work up the courage to fix that. A lot of random generation should be factored out to a dedicated function, the code should generally be cleaned up, better variable names should be used, etc, etc, ad nauseam. Write maintainable code! ( That is a direct quote from the Docs. )

ETA: OP has fled the building, I now see. Skip the maintainability rant then.

stop whining

nobody know

It looks clearly better!

Fixed in description update.

• rows replaced with lines
• together with better examples

["Q","Q","Q","Q","Q"],
["10","Q","Q","Q","A"],
["Q","A","A","J","Q"]

Line 1: 300 points

["Q","Q","Q","Q","Q"],
["","","","",""],
["","","","",""]

Line 5: 300 points

["","","Q","",""],
["","Q","","Q",""],
["Q","","","","Q"]

done

description overhauled

The smarter you are, the more things you know you don't know. Besides, regular expressions are a lot easier than you think. RegexOne is a great resource for learning, and regex101 for testing.

On a side note, you don't really need regex for this task.
