Although extremely rare, the random tests have a chance of producing incorrect expected values if the generated random substring happens to repeat itself (ex: bzbz, earear). The chances of this happening are super low, but seeing how the readability of the random tests in this kata is low, could this be a case where it would be more readable + foolproof to make use of a reference solution instead of trying to completely pregenerate the output?

Java - randomTests and testsWithOverlaps - some test cases have incorrect expected values.

Note for the reader: filtering at each step is bad.

Reraised as an issue

Description should be language-agnostic (in function name and examples)

Java:

• actual and expected are swapped

pythonic code

Pretty difficult and complex kata for being ranked a 6th kyu, very well thought.

Because of the sorted bit, a == c means a == b == c, so the equilateral condition can be a == c and the isosceles condition can be a == b or b == c.

TL;DR, it all depends on who you are writing the code for. Personally, I enjoyed it but wouldn't write it.

This feels like an age old argument between concise and readable code. To a complete beginner this would not be very useful or accessible. For me, knowing some JS and a week into learning Python, it is not readable but fun and interesting to dissect and understand, and it helps me to learn. Thank you. And I can easily understand that this becomes quite obvious with time.
