Thanks for the enjoyable kata! A nice mix of parsing and calculation — simple, clear, and fun to solve.

Thanks for the neat kata! A short and clever way to practice array transformations — quick but satisfying.

I didn't know this method exist hahahah. Thanks

I think "Zero" is overwhelmingly the standard form for a list of written digits, not Null/Nil/Naught and certainly not "O" or "Zed". If you write anything other than "Zero" you'll very quickly be informed by the kata what the expected outcome was.

I'm not American, nor do I speak the American English; this isn't some USA-centric thing.

Typing out ten words is also not particularly onerous.

This is a silly complaint, but even if you disagree it certainly doesn't rise to the level of an issue.

"Null" and "Zed", rarely - "Nil" and "Nought". And, if it's a phone number, "O" (oh). Not all countries use "Zero" by default.

The task should simply provide a list of names that could be copied. While programming certainly has biases, the task should not be "Be American".

For example, tasks with unit conversion provide ratios, unless the conversion is metric-to-metric.

Sometimes I get dissapointed of how easy some problems can be solved and I overcomplicate it!

To the people that attended this kata in NASM, the parameter is passed by registers or stack?

All I can think of is that sometimes people call 0 "Zed" instead; it's more common outside the US.

What ambiguity is there around 0? I cannot think of a sensible intepretation other than "Zero"...

It's unnecessarily tideous, and should at least specify the intended interpretation of 0.

lmfao damn

That one makes me feel stupid for wasting time and memory on my code :'D
Brilliant man !!

For what it's worth, the kata is Find the Position, not Find the Index.

Anyway, the clear example given directly in the description shows that the letter a is at position 1.
