The test function has some incorrect values: Nebraska and Nevada are incorrectly removed, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota and West Virginia are incorrectly left in.
I've fixed the problem and you're now the leader. Sorry about that!
A second test case is needed for this problem. 'New York Nevada' should suffice.
I added another test, similar to the one suggested. Thanks for the comment Richard!
I keep getting 'inappropriate content' errors.
"Remove inappropriate content" error...
What is " two_word name"??
if i would grasp all regexp possibilities in depth.. makes me cry
What do this problem mean ?
@Cody Team, does this need to be a Cody Challenge? It's a pretty rubbish problem
I would vote for removal from this list as well. There is even another one about US states... This is so infuriating and repetitive I almost resorted to echoing assert.
I too would vote for removal from this list.
I can understand strtrim but not that in the solution there must be exactly the same amount of (say) 7 spaces between two consecutive words.
Terrible test cases. Terrible. Lazy and slumpy test cases. Needed to reverse engineer to get the problem done. Test cases need to be adjusted.
Worked first try, size 12, good problem
