Kata

So this happens when test fails and generated boolean expression is too big (which happens in random tests), since the whole boolean expression created by the user is dumped as the test message along with ALL the failed conditions appended to it. It's too big ;-(

Can we have smaller random test cases first that will show these, and biggest random test cases that won't show these? Then at least the browser tab wouldn't instantly crash leaving us with no output.

I think probably I'll just make the random tests fail-fast so that only one big error is displayed instead of 100. I'll also make the early random tests smaller so that you don't have to parse through a 20-variable example to figure out what went wrong

PS: 6kyu...? 'doubt that...

It's actually 6.5 kyu if you know the simple trick ;-)

even with a simple trick, the abstraction level, is clearly not 7-6 kyu

Also:

you need to specify the precedences rules if any

The returned object is a binary AST tree, precedence rules don't apply here.

:cough:

Even if that just consists in telling to the user that the precedence rules can be ignored because the task is to return a tree.

(but if the description is clear enough about what the task is, that part of the issue should "handle itself automatically", yes)

I would agree with 6kyu if you could brute force it.

As it is, you need too much knowledge in boolean algebra for a 6kyu.

I would agree with 6kyu if you could brute force it.

I find it baffling that your first reaction to the kata is to write a complicated brute-force search algorithm instead of a 0th-order solution. myjinxin katas are probably all 5kyu to you too then.

I would have given this 5.5 kyu and just rounded down to 6, rationale being that it's 6 kyu implementation difficulty and 5 kyu domain knowledge

6 kyu implementation difficulty and 5 kyu domain knowledge

...Which should obviously make it 5, not 6...

Please don't artificially deny some rankings to be chosen by others by intentionally adjusting the estimated kata rank. That's really abusing the system. (And if you want it to be approved at a specific rank you can just ask B4B or some other PUs personally to rank it whatever you like. Not like it is any less dodgy but at least you aren't jumping hoops...) I've reverted that change.

Also @B4B if you don't agree with that ranking, then leave the kata there and wait for more ranking votes? 5 ranking votes is not that much.

because ofc, Voile knows better. For sure, yeah. Maybe you're the one who's disagreeing with others, there. So far, that's the case. So stop the crap, thx.

I've reverted that change.

And that's not abusing the system? You're not consistent, here.
