Clues

This section should include some guidance for a person trying a Kata for the first time. It should help them to get going and identify what they might learn when working on it.

Suggested Test Cases

Here you could include a list of test cases for the Kata. For some kata, one of the biggest challenges is to choose what order to implement the tests in. For others, any given set of test cases may constrain the design too much. So you might not always want to include this section.

Here you could write some thoughts about what you have learnt from this Kata. If you want to discuss your approach and give some code samples, you might want to link to a new page “KataXByY “. You don’t have to post all the code of your solution, or claim that it is the best possible solution. What is interesting is your insights into the problem, and decisions you made.
