Good on you for persisting - I know the feeling so well :-)

Thanks for your message. I let the frustration get the better of me. After leaving it for a day and coming back to it I was able to solve it. Great reminder not to give up and think of another solution if the initial idea isnt working.

Thanks again!

Your code is wrong. If you print your results, you'll see that you are always returning the same value.

If you need help completing kata, I recommend joining the codewars discord and asking in the #help-solve channel.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I am failing the test. I've tried it on pycharm and it works. My OCD is going to frustrate me I can't complete this one. Not putting anymore time into this one if it works on Pycharm.

wow never would have thought to do it this way. amazing!
