There are 3 different boxes, each with different commands. Solution for one won't work for another. Box number is given to you as function argument.

returned the contents of root.txt as a string, apparently i'm passing the "very easy" test case, but that isnt sufficient to pass "Harder one!"

Any advice on what im missing here?

check the length of the encoded character, it should be == 8

Another fun one, thanks

That was about my time too! lol

check spaces in sentence

I didn't try to decode it but the encode works for short sentences only

it took me 3 hours, but i had so much fun with solving this

THAT WAS FUN!!!! I like these katas that have a theme and make you feel like you are solving a real-world situation. Not boring, and not some trick; just pure hard coding fun! I have a tip for where some may get tripped up, but I am new here and unsure of how we post those.

Thanks for the translation :)

Julia translation 🙃
I can explain how I added errors to the bitseq if you like. Interesting that you didn't interlace the bits... maybe that's comming in #2? Or perhaps parity checking?

Try to do it step by step and not with a one liner, then you'll find your mistake

@SFM61319 your solution works fine and @headliner your solution is just wrong.

Only alphanumeric characters allowed.

Same dude. I did exactly what they told me to, but the encode only works for short sentences and not long, number, special sentences.
decode works fine for me tho.
