# --description--
|
|
|
|
A common security method used for online banking is to ask the user for three random characters from a passcode. For example, if the passcode was 531278, they may ask for the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th characters; the expected reply would be: 317.
|
|
|
|
The array, `keylog`, contains fifty successful login attempts.
|
|
|
|
Given that the three characters are always asked for in order, analyze the array so as to determine the shortest possible secret passcode of unknown length.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`passcodeDerivation(keylog)` should return a number.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(typeof passcodeDerivation(keylog) === 'number');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`passcodeDerivation(keylog)` should return 73162890.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(passcodeDerivation(keylog), 73162890);
|
|
```
