Sorry, forgot that rule.

Just make test pass....

According to my watch, you're about 24 hours too early.

Excuse me…

Already the punch line is told before

so, my source code, putting here(below) is no spoiling?

With the source, I'm in troubled of Syntax Errors.
the code is of C-language-thinking of mine,

and casting problems about…
Char>Symbol, String, Array or REGEXP-escape,
and Scope of variables

It maybe another Quiz…

Shindo-san,
I think I understand the basic idea you were attempting to code, but
you might want to revise it; as it is written below, it doesn't quite
work.

Yes(no?) it's not only out of work but
also off-track to the context of the quiz,
I'm realizing.

I'd well review solutions of others and regenerate mine
