Hi Alejandro! Great solution! This line
if (distance < 0) distance *= -1;is the key, clever. Thanks for sharing!Hi, Thanks, at the beginning I used Math.Abs but I finally changed by distance *= -1 because the solution was scored better without Math library, I dont know why :)
Sometimes it's because performance increased or cognitive complexity decreased with the change. 🚀
Or sometimes the server performs better and gives you a better score. 🎲
yes, you´re right
