May 17, 2019 at 15:04 comment added Simply Beautiful Art Perhaps it fails 9, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 9, 10, 10, 10, which should return 1, but s(9,10,10,10,10) < s(10,9,10,10,10).

May 17, 2019 at 12:33 comment added user58988 @SimplyBeautifulArt the test 10 10 2 3 10 z 10 10 8 3 9 return 0
May 17, 2019 at 12:20 comment added user58988 @SimplyBeautifulArt in that case Apl return infinity both side, and so code would use the s() function...

May 17, 2019 at 12:09 comment added Simply Beautiful Art I'm not really sure how your code works, so I'm looking forward to that explanation. Perhaps it fails a test case like 10, 10, 2, 3, 10, 10, 10, 8, 3, 9, which should return 0.
May 17, 2019 at 12:05 comment added Simply Beautiful Art You said you calculated each by taking log(log()), but for that test case, the difference between log(log(10^10^10^10^10)) and log(log(9^10^10^10^10)) would require an absurd amount of accuracy to pick up on. You'd need to have a floating point with about 2e10 base 10 digits of accuracy. And this is ignoring the fact that both sides are approximately as large as 10^10^10, which I find it hard to believe you were able to compute.
May 17, 2019 at 11:59 comment added user58988 @SimplyBeautifulArt 10 10 10 10 10 z 9 10 10 10 10 return 1 so the left > right... What does it mean"logging twice"?

May 17, 2019 at 11:50 comment added Simply Beautiful Art Only logging twice leaves you vulnerable to fail test cases like 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10.
May 17, 2019 at 11:28 comment added Kevin Cruijssen If all test cases are correct, then +1 from me. Looking forward seeing an explanation of your code. :)
May 17, 2019 at 11:26 comment added user58988 @KevinCruijssen Here your test , if exclude the one above seems ok...
May 17, 2019 at 11:26 comment added Kevin Cruijssen Ah oops, that one is indeed supposed to be true. Copy-paste error.. My bad. All the other test cases should be correct.

May 17, 2019 at 10:58 comment added user58988 @KevinCruijssen the test 5 4 3 2 1 z 1 2 3 4 5 would result true n>1 your test would be wrong on that case
May 17, 2019 at 10:24 comment added Kevin Cruijssen The tests in the challenge description are lacking some edge cases. Could you verify that it's also working for all these test cases?
