Changelist

This project is about how to implement the test cases first. Once we cover all possibilities, we can implement the function step by step. I learned that if we need to optimize our function, the test cases are much easier to adapt if we avoid naming them 'case 1'. 'case 2', etc. Using module.export and npx jest --watch command was very helpful to get the real-time feedback on what was happening in our implementation.

Questions

Is this how the learning approach should be? Should I study the test cases before solving the function, e.g, in Codewars?

Thank you

Yes. It is not just a learning process; it is "the way".

Even without actually implementing the tests first, it is still the approach to take. That is, think about all possible input and the expected output before implementing the function.

If test cases are available, study them first.

Hi @cjyuan, Thank you once again for your time and for the review of my PR. I have made the suggested changes, and I will continue working on improving my confidence and skills when writing test cases.

All good now. Well done.
