Okay, I played around and it accepted it. My bad.

That's a problem with your code, not a kata issue. It's not throwing when it should do it. I used throw std::runtime_error("Game Over!"); in my code and it worked. I could make your code work too, check this: https://www.codewars.com/kata/568018a64f35f0c613000054/discuss#635d7d267dadeaf934cb3000 With your current code, if you have 2 lives, you can guess wrong two times and you can make one more guess.

"function should throw an error" is the only explanantion given,

but

throw std::runtime_error("Game Over!");

is not accepted in C++

honestly yeah. I was happy with the solution I came up with but I like making matrices

@B1ts I know this is an old post but still wanted to say thank you so much for your explanation! It was super helpful, especially with the log = console.log!

Nice and clever use of pattern matching — short, readable, and does exactly what it needs to. Thanks for the fun little challenge!

The kata is ok, please consider adding "OOP" tag to it

yes the draw and another output that's says p1 won

What do you mean? Are you talking about how to get Draw!

some of the codes we're supposed to write are not in the instructions given,
but still wrote it in a pythonic way though... way to go rossum

Can the parameter in the guess method be changed to something other than n? I was confused as to what was being input there at first

what the hell

Rejecting as superseded by a fork with updated description.

Solution sharing != kata suggestion.
