Lua track custom set exercise

elcarn23 · January 10, 2024, 7:20pm

When I was doing the custom set exercise in the spec file on line 65 the prompt says that it should indicate that it is not disjoint but the test itself is trying to assert true that a set is indeed disjoint with an empty set. Shouldn’t that be checking for false indicating that it is not disjoint? I’m sorry if this is a silly question. I’m happy to update the spec file if we want to be checking that it is false.

true is the proper result for that test. Looks like that’s a typo in the spec file. The test description should include

non-empty set is disjoint with empty set

Sounds good. That makes more sense.
