Like others, my results varied slightly. Not sure if I misunderstood the directions or if something is off in the posted output. Guess we'll find out next week!

I also got different percentages, but mine were different from some of the other solutions. I am a bit of a newbie, so it's likely that I had a flub somewhere.

The instructions said the hyphen was never missing, so I added it back for Record #3 for it to work 😅 @AYXAcademy these issues where our solutions don't match to the provided solution are happening more often...

Thank you, John  (@jeprime)

This was a neat challenge.  Please see my solution attached. 

My % calculations for the 2nd task did not match the solution, but I am confident I've calculated them correctly.  I appreciate it if you can please me know where you see it amiss.

As others said, I'm having issues matching the output solutions. However, I'm matching with what other people posted, so I think I did it right.

 

Only 4 more until 500!!

Okay, I felt compelled to make my Task 1 match the provided solution by being more respectful to the "Hint."  Note that this change does not help or alter the results for Task 2 though.  My Task 2 results still differ from the author's provided results.

 

Here's my revised solution:

Also, @Carolyn - amazing work on your way to 500!

Done. Like others mentioned, the Task 2 results are different.

 

From my understanding, the codes that are missing or have incorrect delimiters means these code doesn't follow the system patterns. In this case, There are 34 such codes out of a total of 50, which should be 68%.


The codes endwith letter should be 20, would be 40% of total.


Please conrrect me if I'm wrong.

Like others, my results differed from the Output Solution. I see now where I could have condensed this a bit, but still got to a solution!
