Got it, thanks

The first soldier in line adopts Stan's cadence of 1 after 1 step already.

Soldiers at the ends of the line are influenced only by their single neighbor and adopt that neigbor's cadence.

How to get 1 out of 5 values in 2 steps, subtracting 1 each?
Or did I somehow misunderstand the task?
{"initial":[5,1,1],"steps":2,"stan":1,"ollie":2}
expected [ 3, 1, 1 ] to deeply equal [ 1, 1, 1 ]

Somehow I managed. It wasn't the best solution, but it worked. Thanks!

Thanks! I didn't know you could see the data there

1
101
10001
10111
1110111

Then it should be expected not M but S, shouldn't it?

11111100111111

The same situation, the signal for 2 units of time is 3 dots + three dots

Write console.log(bits); as the first line of your function.

There are none, this is what I got when I tried to send

Basic bits decoding
expected 'I' to equal 'M'
Completed in 1ms
Multiple bits per dot handling
expected 'I' to equal 'M'

Print the input.

JS
expected 'I' to equal 'M'
I - '..'
M - '--'
