Well done👌🏻

🙌 Thanks to the Codewars community for the "Help your fellow warrior!" kata!
A simple yet insightful exercise in breaking down a numeric goal into tiered units.
It was a great way to practice clean conditional logic and basic arithmetic — appreciate it!

Yes

Those latter 2 are already in deduplication process, and the idea might be a subset of this, but it is not related to the concept of kyu ranking. Also there are a bunch of katas about divmod / subset tasks involving the concept, so I guess it is not ideal to deduplicate them (Same goes to the trivial string / list manipulation katas ...)

Not the one I was thinking of either, though that one is a (n exact?) dupe of this one

I just went and found the one I was thinking of, which is this, and this is the myjinxin one I was thinking of.

Ok I guess it is this one (though not myjinxin's) then which makes this too trivial

First argument — the starting index, Second argument — the ending index (not included in the result)

why is it 1 and not 0, -1?

Neither of those are the dupes I was thinking of, they were called like "minimum steps to a number" or something.

OMG, thank you. I spent more time figuring this out than the actual kata!

myjinxin's

Dupe of a bunch of similar kata (there's at least one myjinxin one which has an identical solution to this)
