It just hasn't been updated to node 18 yet. There is an ongoing effort to update all JS kata to node 18, you can ask about it in the discord if you want to help out.

That was an outstanding problem—I truly enjoyed it! However, I have a question: Was its design intentionally tailored for Node v8.1.3? Regardless, I have provided solutions for both Node v18.x (as a comment) and Node v8.1.3.

Great kata ^^

Yup that does make sense. I mentioned to start from index 0 to indicate starting from left to right but have added your line as it makes it much clearer, thanks!

Heya! Fun kata, but I ran into a few problems.
Your reference solution has a left -> right bias in terms of parsing the string.
Eg. peelPairs('12251', 6):

• Working l->r: the answer is 221. Total distance between the pair characters (1, 5) is 3. This is the result the reference produces.
• However, r->l: the answer is 122. Total distance between the pair characters (1, 5) is 1, they're adjacent. This is closer than the acceped solution, but will not be accepted.

Given that the instructions state they should be paired with the closest digit to them that sums to n, I think you should clarify the instructions to include closest digit **to the right** of them that sums to n.

Hopefully that makes sense :D

Approved

;-)

Thanks, the empty string should now no longer occur as a key or value.

;-)

There are objects with empty string keys in the random tests, which nothing has said about how to handle them.

Good catch, now both random and fixed tests should be the correct way around.

how is that fixed ? check below !

 Expected: undefined, instead got: 'Mnemonic\nObjectively objective object\nPalindromic Mnemonic!\nPalindromic'

Thanks, test results should now be the right way around.

It appears your 'Expected' and 'Instead got' are reversed.

Can confirm it's fixed, was just investigating this myself and it suddenly started passing the test cases.
