Yeah I ended up going with the hack of converting to int and back to string for this. :/

'People like you'

Why are you getting personal over the rating of a kata?

I didn't need to look it up because I was taught it in school. Also programming isn't a closed book test. When I program I am standing on the shoulders of giants.

In python the tests were expecting the function to be named open_or_senior but the provided code template names the function "openOrSenior".

I'm leaving my code in the crappy form it passed in. I normally clean things up and think about optimizations and shortcuts but I'm done with this evil problem.

This kata is far easier than 4kyu. It's a standard binary tree and traversal method. The pseudocode is in every data structures textbook.

When I tried to run the haskell unit tests I got:

The name of the test module must end with 'Spec'

Why do the kata in this series execute through oper(fct, s)? Does it make testing easier and faster to implement across supported languages or allow for a functional approach to test writing? IMO that function should be provided already implemented.

int n = 7230702951; // invalid in java. The literal 7230702951 of type int is out of range
