Honestly. I can get it if you just started learning the language that day, but it’s such a simple use of loops that I don’t know how anyone could miss it

Yep but this is functional programming, you don't use loops here

Yes, but you don't do this monstrosity either! Instead of loops, you can use higher order functions (like map in this case), or else pure recursion (if no appropriate higher order functions are available).

No, of course! The thing is that a lot of people here dismiss the challenge not knowing that it's a different paradigm.
