      This will not work on Unicode

      Correct.

      Greek and Arabic have cases as well

      Who told you that?

      This looks like O(n), because you don’t include constants when calculating Big-O. It’s still ~26 times slower than the implementation without the inner loop.

      This looks like O(n^2) because of the sub.

      I was right the first time. sub is “substring” and not “substitute”.

    here’s a more nuanced question: in school iirc my teacher was implementing terminal 2-human tic-tac-toe with us and used an only slightly less egregious 7-by-3 AND/OR gate to see whether any player had won. because I didn’t like all the repetition, my version iterated through a 7-by-3 list of lists of indecies instead. every toy programming problem I’ve seen since was so general that it didn’t go well with this kind of hardcoding either

      When creating an example for beginning programmers, sometimes using a very inefficient data structure is more illustrative and a helpful educational tool.

    Honestly as long as literals are properly converted, I don’t see any other way to do this in an entirely encoding agnostic way
