It is similar, but my kata doesn't always ask you for the same, there are different parameters every time.

@ZlataBrain

This is the kata. Unfortunately, your kata has no chance of going through beta. I really liked your formatting of the task tho. Try to come up with something more creative next time. Good luck.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. Can you please provide a link to the kata that you think I copied? Beforte creating this kata I checked for some similar ones so I don't copy anyone's work, but I may have missed something.

I think it is not. In that kata, the input is two strings, thus finding and considering the midpoint, and the string length being an even number, are not relevant. Also the correspondence is two-way in this kata and one-way over there: the first string may contain any number of extra characters or any other characters not appearing in the second without changing the result.

I don't know, so I looked, and https://github.com/Codewars/content-issues/wiki/List-of-Possible-Duplicate-Kata says,

Note that "duplicate" is not defined yet.

With such quick and easy requirements, my guess is that this has a high probability of having already been formulated. So it is probably a duplicate of something, but not that.

Is it? What are the qualifications for two katas to be different?

Exactly, they don't own that problem. And the description here is different.

Definitely not ( IANAL and this is not legal advice ). But copyright applies to literal description text, examples, or test code; not the task in itself. The description is different, and though I can't read Leetcode's tests, they are probably different as well.

IDK, this kata isn't as simple as the other one, but to me it still looks like a basic raw algorithm rather than something combining enough unique ideas for the idea of the task to be copirightable (as opposed to the exact text).

I don't see anything that looks copied, the same maximum length of 2*10^4 isn't much.

Note to author: it is advised to refrain from abuse of moderation tools and reporting users which raise critical, but valid remarks. If you need help creating a kata, there is whole bunch of resources at your disposal, including Codewars Discord and its #kata-ideas channel (to verify whether your idea would be welcome and is not a duplicate), #help-author channel for help with practical aspects of kata authoring, and #reviewing channel where you can ask for review of a draft of your kata before publishing.

There is also documentation with Codewars Authoring Guidelines, authoring guides for Python, and my collection of authoring examples kata on Codewars.

That kata uses a different system as mine and I had completed that kata after i had finished creating my own. Anyways, it is different from the one which I had created.

I have not seen a kata which has used a word to number translator yet. Either way, could you send the link for that?

Could you link the other kata which mine is similar to?

merge conflict resolved and approved

I understand you, I'll put my kata away
