Related to the issue below, and a more serious one: the kata is impossible to pass at certain dates due to the same reason causing fixed tests that expect total digit sum to be at least 25 to fail. If
YYYYMMDD's digit sum is less than 10 (such as2030-01-12) this will happen.Thanks for the help. The test are now changed so they will pass the lowest date possible, being 2100-10-01, which adds up to 5.
Okay, an actual issue this time: containing today's date in
YYYYMMDDand digit sum being at least 25 is the same condition for certain dates. For example, the date20240929adds up to28, which means if it doesn't exist in the password then the password is invalid, and if it exists then you don't need to check digit sum anymore. So during certain dates the kata will become easier, which is not very future-proof.It's very easy to test this with
instead of
I see your issue here, we made this kata as a little validation for some of the rules of the original game plus some more created by us. We wanted to make no changes to the original rules if it was possible, and we thought of that possibility, but didn't see it as a strong issue. Do you think is a big problem and we should change it?
Issue resolved (so it can be published)
It is not mentioned whether the "today date" checking is case-insensitive (and the tests do not check for this either).
As it's mentioned in the description the today date has the format YYYYMMDD, which all are numbers. I don't understand your issue. Can you explain yourself?
Oh okay, I thought the date contains letters.
