The test suite should be expanded to contain a sentence with 25 unique letters and some non-letters.

I know im not really efficient in my code but how do people get solutions of length 10?

Brian on 14 Jul 2015

they use something in the form of
function variable_output=func_name(variable_youre_running_on)
regexp '' '(?@variable_youre_running_on,all_regular_work_pasted_here);'

This will fail if the sentence contains enough non-alphabetical letters!

James on 10 Jul 2012

or if it's just 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';

Cris Luengo on 14 Jul 2012

Or if it is 'aAbBcCdDeEfFgGhHiIjJkKlLmMnNoOpPqQrRsS'

This would not work if punctuation was included in the string, or if spaces were not included in the string, or if capital and lower case letters were duplicated, but letters were still missing.

For example:
'ABCDEFabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy'
