a bit long :)

Tested this solution and the one with sum(range(1, num + 1)), so with argument of 1000, I had these results:
range: 14.2409 sec
formula: 0.1098 sec
I know this is obvious, I shared it just for anybody who is curious

Unless there is no-one else in the class and the class_points is an empty list...

Is this answer definitely correct? Where in the code is it taken into account that “Note: Your points are not included in the array of your class’s points. Do not forget them when calculating the average score!”?

we think same xd..... simplicity is best

Nice solution, I had no idea we could add named parameters in the function definition 🙃 gonna be using this technique from now on

i have no idea why it worked. it could have been a bug in the tests

Not incorrect. That part of the kata is a red herring, wether the author intended that or not. Just think about it, if your score is the highest score it will always be above the average of all other scores and your score can never be low enough to make the average lower than itself. The code here is using sound logic.

the error is in the test code. At each test, it doesn't take into account the total number of items in the list ( your_points + class_points)
that's why it passes even with your code :)

welcome to the ternary operator club!! clean code at its finest!! :)

It doesn't matter whether you add your own points or not, the answer will be the same either way.
