• A bug in task description

 

G'Day.

The task Bigger Price says that the only requirement is that a list is returned with the required number of items, but when I did that it failed. It appears that it also expects that the list to be sorted in descending order, which it doesn't mention. Either the requirement should be added to the instructions or removed form the checking.

While I'm writing, in the The Fastest Horse mission the parameter being passed to the user function is named horses when in fact it's not a list of horses, it's a list of races. Since the description didn't make it clear if it was a list of horses or races I took the name to indicate is was horses and was rather puzzled when the tests kept failing. I noticed that various others has renamed the parameter in their solutions, but I think it's worth fixing the template code and perhaps clarifying the description.

Keep up the good work folks, Ian
