I would say yes, but that the test cases for this challenge don't require a particularly optimized solution.

This is amusing to me to see appear on Codewars, because whenever I play 7 Wonders I'm totally fixated on the science cards, and pretty much ignore all the other ways to get points.

Would this be a n^2 time complexity? Since in this solution you are iterating through the enitre string and then performing a count. I am assuming that the count is has a time complexity of n.

oooh nice

we are the same solution.haha

Thanks, I'm happy you liked it!

Very nice :)

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed them!

awesome katas, very fun and quick to solve (1 took some time, 2 only few seconds)

Test fails. There must be something worng with the allTestCases array

after a refresh it worked as expected, thanks!

logged out and in, finally solved :) thanks folks!

Try resetting the kata a few times and reloading the page. If you started doing the kata before it was updated, you may still be working with an older, broken version.

I checked the output when trying to return wrong output, everything is correct for me.

I might be wrong, but the first test I fail is the following

It should work for random inputs too - Expected: '[21, 14, -386, 4, -10, -720, -398, -2, -40, -786, -190, -32, -33, 96, 50, 967, 133, 781, 411, 628, 924, 569, 861, 222, 565, 849, 697, 653, 75, 17, 9, 3, -1, -31, -73, -89, -441]', instead got: '[-786, -720, -398, -386, -190, -40, -32, -10, -2, 4, 14, 50, 96, 222, 628, 924, 967, 861, 849, 781, 697, 653, 569, 565, 411, 133, 75, 21, 17, 9, 3, -1, -31, -33, -73, -89, -441]'

it shouldn't be starting with 21 in the first place, for the simple fact that it's an odd number, or am I missing something?

You may be sorting it the wrong way, though. The reference has been fixed.
